Many older parks have outdated water mains. Poor or no inspection programs at all in parks for hydrants. Therefore they have time to prepare or make necessary modifications - to at least pass select inspections or to make operable for the time being. This hydrant issue could possibly be considered a failure to maintain the park as a safe environment - in violation of the Mobilehome Residency Law. Residents know it will take some type of legislation to make the park owners take any action and also to make them legally responsible.

Park owners feel that preventive measures are the responsibility of the homeowner and that the homeowner needs to upgrade their home instead of the park upgrading the infrastructure. If indeed the home is old enough to stand upgrading, then in all likelihood, so would the underground wiring to this home, which is a park owner responsibility.
