IF there had been a raised lip around the fresh water location to prevent spilled sewage or other items from going down into the hole to where the faucet was (about a foot down), I might not have been so worked up about it. As it was, the sewage connection was elevated an inch or two (I did not measure), with a slight slope inside the ring toward the opening. There was not a spring loaded closure. Nor was there any sort of physical barrier which could prevent spilled sewage from running down into the water connection.
As of now, I have not heard anything back from the Bullett county health department. I think I will resend it and this time CC the state health department. |

I agree the setup described sounds horrible. I have always seen the water connection elevated. There is no way to insulate a line from freezing even if it is at ground level so that reasoning is bull. The worst I've seen is a sewer connection elevated, instead of recessed to catch spillage.

If they are cousins, then there is a likelihood that they are also married! ![]() Disclaimer: My parents are from Gatlff - Whitley County....about 10 miles NE from Jellico, TN. Last I heard, Whitley was still the poorest county in KY. Hoosier by birth certificate...raised hillbilly! (I know you are wondering.....NO, all of my cousins were "spoken for") |

We were in site #15. I was looking for the water hookup as I could not believe initially that it would be so close to the sewer connection. I saw some of the other RVs connected, plus I asked someone I saw nearby to confirm that it was the water connection. No response so far from the health department. However, it has not even been a day since I wrote, so I expect it will not be an immediate reply.
If Bullitt County's health department does not respond, I will go up the ladder to the state health department. I would expect that the state department head and the owner are less likely to be related. |

It's Bullitt County.. writing won't do anything. If there is anyone there that can read, they are cousins to the owners.
I have never stayed there, but they have a ton of full timers. There is a nice KOA just about as far away to the east.. to late now of course. And that is not the norm, anyway shape or form. In 40 years of camping, I have never seen or heard of such a setup. Benn in at least a dozen Kentucky RV parks, none was like that. I do know grandma's had a poor rating online when I checked a couple years ago... EDIT: Oh, and I have to run to the 'ville this week, will have to stop and check that out.. |

I just finished an email to the health department outlining the situation. I will be interested to hear what the reply will be. When I do hear something, I will post it here.
