Any way to determine utility setup without visiting park?

Is there a way to determine if a park has public water/sewer without speaking to the owner or visiting the park? What about checking for master metered electric/gas while being completely off site?

Thanks

Yes, you can get all that information over the phone – just call the municipal water and sewer department and they can tell you if the park is attached to their lines. Just say “I was wondering if the mobile home park located at ____________ is attached to your system and if you provide that utility?” That’s not really a privacy of information concern – just a statement of fact – so you should get no push back. Also ask them if they bill the customers direct or if it’s master-metered.

On the electric and gas, also call the municipal carrier. But make sure to ask them if they bill direct or is if it master metered – that’s the key thing you need to know.
