THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., August 27, 1970—6-A
500 Mobile Home
Parks In State
*
There are now more than 500
mobile home parks In South
Carolina and at least a dozen
of them have grown to a popul
ation of over 1,000 persons. The
State Board of Health today said
that sanitation in some of them
is not up-to-par and that keeping
them sanitary has become a big
problem.
Health department sanita
rians inspect all mobile home
parks and before one can be
licensed, it must meet regula
tions for the number of trailers
it will accommodate. But ac
cording to State Health Officer
Dr. E. Kenneth Aycock, ‘The
park often grows much faster
than the owner anticipated and
he takes in adjacent lands for
more homes.
‘Water and sewage facilities
must then be enlarged and some
owners are tardy in doing this.
The results are water that is of
a poor quality and septic tanks
that overflow causing health
problems.
•Oftentimes little boys play
in open spaces near the trailers
where there is seepage from
overflowing septic tanks,* Dr.
Aycock said. ‘If one of the boys
picks up a ball that has rolled
on the ground, he can get some
of this seepage on his hands.
Then if he eats an apple or
candy without washing his hands,
he may eat some of the sewage
also.
•Though lie may not become
critically ill, chances are he
may get an upset stomach or
round worms (ascaris), or de
velop some other illness. A few
years ago he could easily have
contracted typhoid fever,* com
mented Dr. Aycock.
Dr. Aycock said that a mobile
home park with G4 trailers along
the coast desperately needs a
larger oxidation pond for its
sewage and that last winter a
12-unit park in the Piedmont
had broken sewage lines for
several days.
A Charleston County man re
cently applied for a permit to
open a park with eight trailers.
When the sanitarian Inspected
4t, he found the electrical aipftly
Mnes onu M» greucd. Tf» toJ
had not provided garbage can
racks for each trailer and the
sewage connections were not
water-tight The permit was
withheld until the owner cor
rected the violations.
With many of the parks now
including swimming pools for
the community another prob
lem is created in keeping the
pools clean enough for swim
ming. Every pool is checked
once a week by Board of He
alth inspectors and when the
water is not found safe, the
pool is closed.
•These problems are cer
tainly not restricted to mobile
home parks,* Dr. Aycock said,
“but we do keep a close check
on parks because of their health
hazard potential. Since most oi
them are located away from
cities and towns, they usually
have to provide their own sew
age disposal and water.
‘While most park operators
try to follow all the rules, many
parks are overcrowded and con
sequently their sewage disposal
systems are overloaded,* the
health officer commented
Dr. Aycock said anyone plan
ning to open a mobile home park
should first contact the county
health department in order to
avoid costly expenses.
