SPS 326.47 Flushing mains. If practical, dead-end mains or other low-flow portions of distribution systems shall be flushed as needed to eliminate or minimize complaints from manufactured home community occupants arising from an objectionable condition of water due to lack of circulation.
Wisconsin Administrative Code § SPS 326.47 addresses water quality maintenance in manufactured home community water distribution systems. Where it is practical to do so, dead-end water mains and other sections of the distribution system with low water flow must be flushed as needed to address or prevent water quality complaints from residents. The rule targets situations where stagnant or poorly circulating water creates objectionable conditions for occupants.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Wis. Admin. Code § SPS 326.47, operators of manufactured home communities are generally expected to assess their water distribution systems for dead-end mains and low-flow sections that may cause water quality issues. Where flushing is practical, compliant operators establish a routine flushing schedule and respond to resident complaints about water quality by flushing affected portions of the system as needed. Maintaining records of flushing activities and resident complaints can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Wis. Admin. Code § SPS 326.47 establishes that manufactured home community residents have a basis to raise concerns when water quality is objectionable due to poor circulation in the distribution system. If you experience discolored, odorous, or otherwise problematic water, documenting the issue and notifying community management in writing creates a record that the flushing obligation may apply. Residents may also contact the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options are available when management does not respond to water quality complaints.
