# California AB 1830 (20112012) — Water service: mobilehome parks.

Existing law authorizes the Public Utilities Commission to regulate public utilities, including water corporations. Under existing law, a mobilehome park that provides water service only to its tenants from water supplies and facilities that it owns, not otherwise dedicated to public service, is not a water corporation, but that mobilehome park is subject to the jurisdiction of the commission to the extent that, if a tenant complains about the water rates charged or service provided by the mobilehome park, the commission is authorized to determine whether the rates charged are just and reasonable and whether the service provided is adequate. Existing law authorizes the commission to afford rate relief or to order the mobilehome park to improve its water supply, facilities, and services on those terms that it finds just and reasonable, or both.
