Green Acres Trailer Park Rules and Regulations
2018 Season
- As safety is a number one priority, all trailers must be equipped with working smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers. No unlicensed/uninsured person is allowed to work on propane systems. Each trailer owner must insure their unit for fire and liability and show proof of the policy at the start of each season. Each trailer must also have a valid propane inspection certificate.
- Septic System: Proper use of the septic system must be followed. Do not put any diapers, sanitary products, cigarette butts, coffee grounds, food and the worst of all, cooking grease down the toilets or drains. Single ply paper must be used. If your trailer has a holding tank, the proper chemicals must be used to break down the solids. Do not use chemicals that just deodorize. Please make sure your visitors are made aware of the proper usage of the septic system.
As in any septic or sewage system, there is always the possibility of a back-up. For this reason we strongly recommend that you install an anti- backup sewer valve on any trailer that is not equipped with a holding tank. If your trailer has a holding tank, you should close all black water and grey water valves before leaving the park. This should prevent any back- up into your trailer. Green Acres Trailer Park will not be held responsible for any damages caused by a sewage back-up as we cannot control what people put down the drains and toilets. Management does what we can to keep everything running properly but you, the customer, have to make sure to use the septic system properly. If you notice a problem, please notify management immediately so that we can remedy the situation.
If you need further advice on the proper use of the septic system or advice on installing an anti back-up valve, speak with John. - All trailers coming into the park must have a holding tank.
- The park has 2 seasons to offer. The first opens for the opening of pickerel season and closes Thanksgiving weekend. Secondly, we offer an extended season on certain sites.( April 15- November 15)
