§ 1005. Water, wastewater, and solid waste requirements.

(a)

Water. All recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds shall meet the following standards: A water supply serving a recreational vehicle park or campground shall conform to the requirements of the county health official, as now enacted or hereafter amended. Where an existing public water supply of satisfactory quantity and quality is reasonably available, the health official may require connection to that supply for all domestic water purposes at the recreational vehicle park or campground. Recreational vehicle parks shall provide either individual water connections at campsites or spaces, or a centralized water source with adequate quantity of storage. Recreational vehicle parks shall provide a central sewage disposal dumping site, meeting applicable health rules. Development of a recreational vehicle park or campground without an approved domestic water supply shall require written approval from the health official.

(b)

Sewage disposal and public restrooms. All recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds shall discharge sewage and gray water to sewage disposal systems approved by the county health official. Recreational vehicles may be connected to a public sanitary sewer system or an on-site sewage system if approved by the owner/operator and the health official. Connection to a public sewer system may be required where reasonably available. Unless each camping space allows for connection of camping units to potable water and waste water disposal systems, there shall be at least one sewage pump-out station conveniently located with access from the service driveway and with easy ingress and egress for recreational vehicles in each recreational vehicle park or campground that is designed to accommodate recreational vehicles. For camping spaces not connected to a sewage disposal system, there shall be clearly identified and approved dumping stations and facilities for the disposal of gray water convenient to each camping space. Alternate sewage disposal systems may be installed in lieu of conventional means of sewage disposal, subject to approval from the health official. Minimum sanitary facilities, including toilets, urinals, and hand washing sinks, for new recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds shall be provided as required by the health official. Public restrooms shall be constructed to meet all applicable building codes.

(c)

Solid waste disposal. One or more solid waste collection areas shall be required. The number of spaces shall be used to determine the number of dumpsters required. The locations shall be proposed by the applicant and as approved in the development review process; provided, however, that the location shall be reasonably close to the entrance of the development at a county road. Collection areas having more than one container may require screening with a sight-obscuring fence. The development applicant shall pay a fee to the county for purchase of new dumpsters serving the development, and the dumpsters required to serve the development shall be rented from the county.
