R392-301-5. Water Supply  


Latest version.
  •   (1) Potable water supply systems for use by recreational vehicle park occupants shall be designed, installed, and operated according to the requirements set forth by:

      (a) Plumbing Code;

      (b) The Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Drinking Water under Title R309; and

      (c) Local health department regulations.

      (2) The operator shall provide potable water to each site designed and intended for recreational vehicle use.

      (a) This provision may be modified with approval by the local health officer if a service building is provided as in Subsection R392-301-4(7).

      (b) Where individual water connections are not provided to sites, common-use water faucets shall be accessible to RV park occupants, and located not more than 300 feet from any site. A threaded spigot is prohibited on any such common-use water faucet providing potable water to a site.

      (c) The operator shall design and construct the area immediately around a common-use water faucet (i.e. spigot) to promote surface drainage by using a constructed drain system such as a gravel pit, subsurface drywell, French drain, or seepage trench. The operator shall prevent water in this area from flowing into traffic areas and surface waters, or from pooling, standing, or becoming stagnant. This requirement does not apply to water connections in individual sites.

      (d) The operator shall protect water systems against the hazards of cross-connection, backflow, and interior surface contamination of attached hoses.

      (3) In any recreational vehicle park or portion thereof where it is not feasible to pipe potable water into the area, an alternate supply of potable water may be permitted upon approval of the local health officer.
