1. (a) A mobile home community shall provide a water supply through the use of a public water system if the water supply is reasonably available within a reasonable distance from the mobile home community. A mobile home community is not required to use a public water system if the water system is more than two thousand (2,000) feet from the mobile home community. If a public water system is not available, water shall be provided by a system approved by the environmental commissioner under rules adopted by the environmental rules board.

2. (b) For purposes of state department enforcement of subsection (a), if the owner of a mobile home community is provided written notice under 170 IAC 6-1-16 or IC 36-9-25-11.5 that the entire mobile home community will be disconnected from water service, the mobile home community is in violation of subsection (a) as of the date on which the owner is provided the notice. However, except as provided by 170 IAC 6-1-16(b), in addition to the notice under 170 IAC 6-1-16 or IC 36-9-25-11.5 , the owner of a mobile home community and the state department must be provided written notice at least thirty (30) days before the notice under 170 IAC 6-1-16 or IC 36-9-25-11.5 is sent that the water service will be disconnected.
