A. An adequate and safe sewage system must be provided in each recreational vehicle park for conveying, treating, and disposing of all sewage. Where a public sewage treatment and disposal system of adequate capacity is available, and the owner agrees to provide service, connection must be made thereto and its services used exclusively. When a public sewage system is not available, a private or public system may be developed and used as approved by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality. Such system must be designed and constructed in accordance with ARM 16.16.302, 16.16.304, or 16.16.305, whichever is appropriate. Where a local board of health has adopted a regulation governing individual sewage treatment and disposal systems, the more stringent requirement will apply.

B. A sanitary station is required in each recreational vehicle park which provides recreational vehicle space for self-contained recreational vehicles, except the following:

1. Where each recreational vehicle space is provided with an individual sewer riser;

2. Where a sanitary station is available for public use on a full-time basis within a reasonable distance from the recreational vehicle campground;

3. Where installation of a sanitary station is not feasible due to lack of electricity, water under pressure, or other considerations; and where the campground is designed for use only by tent campers and use by recreational vehicles is not expected.

C. A sanitary station must be provided in the ratio of one for every one hundred recreational vehicle spaces lacking individual sewer risers or fraction thereof.

D. A sanitary station shall consist of at least a four-inch sewer riser pipe connected to the recreational vehicle park sewage system surrounded at the inlet end by a concrete apron at least four feet square sloped to the drain and provided with a suitable self-closing hinged cover and a water outlet with approved anti-back siphoning devices connected to the recreational vehicle park’s water supply system to permit periodic washdown of the immediate adjacent area. Signs must be placed at such locations stating the water is unsafe for drinking. (Ord. 588 § 1(part), 1996)
