provide sample taps, and provide pump-to-waste facilities for all wells. A
campground owner and person preparing campground plans shall ensure that the
campground's water well or wells and water well pump or pumps operating with

per minute or more than 30 gallons per minute if indicated by the sum of the
following peak instantaneous demands for water:
(a) One gallon per minute for each site water
connection that serves a mobile home or park model recreational unit, and 0.5
of a gallon per minute for each site water connection that serves other
sites.
(b) A campground owner shall
determine peak instantaneous demands for unthreaded convenience water outlets,
water-using fixtures in service buildings, and other water-using facilities
served by the campground's water system using the department's fixture method
in the publication entitled "Michigan Criteria for Subsurface Sewage Disposal,"
dated April 1994, or using other nationally recognized methods for determining
peak instantaneous demand. The publication may be obtained from the Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality, Drinking Water and Radiological Protection
Division, Environmental Health Section, P.O. Box 30630, Lansing, Michigan

(3) A
campground owner shall ensure that a water distribution system for a campground
has a minimum depth of bury of 2 feet. If the system is designed for winter
use, then the campground owner shall ensure that the system has a minimum depth
of bury of 3.5 feet or more than 3.5 feet in areas where the frost line
typically extends below 3.5 feet.
(4) A campground owner shall provide water
under pressure to a campsite occupied by a single sectional mobile home. A
campground owner shall ensure that the water distribution system piping is an
adequate size to meet peak demands, as determined in subrule (2) of this rule,
while maintaining a minimum residual pressure of 20 pounds per square
inch.
(5) A campground owner shall
ensure that a potable water supply system is designed, installed, and
maintained to prevent contamination from nonpotable water sources and other
nonpotable liquids. A campground owner shall ensure that below-ground stop and
waste valves that have weep holes for use on the waterlines are not
used.
(6) A campground owner shall
ensure that any plastic waterline that is used in a campground is made of a
material approved by the department and has a minimum pressure rating of 160
pounds per square inch. A campground owner shall ensure that the pipe, plastic
fittings, and solvent cements are approved by NSF (National Sanitation
Foundation) International for potable water supply and bear the NSF
International seal of approval.
(7)
A campground owner may locate an unthreaded convenience water outlet on a site
but shall not allow a direct connection of the outlet to a recreational
unit.
(8) If a site water
connection is proposed, then a campground owner shall also propose and provide
a site sewer connection, a mechanical sewage pump-out facility, or an agreement
with a licensed septic tank cleaner.
(9) A campground owner shall not make or
allow an alteration to a campground water system without prior written approval
from the department. "An alteration to a water system" means the modification
of, or addition to, an existing waterworks system or portion of the system that
affects the flow, capacity, system service area, source, treatment, or
reliability of the system.
