(2) The community shall maintain yard lights that are part of the community lighting system unless otherwise disclosed in the community rules established by each community.
(3) Any part of the community electrical system that may present a real or potential safety hazard shall be immediately disconnected and repaired in compliance with R 408.30801 et seq. of the Michigan electrical code, or shall be condemned so as to protect against injury or loss of life.
(4) The homeowner shall ensure that the electrical supply line from the home to the pedestal is kept in good repair and in a serviceable condition. The line shall be approved for home use.
(5) Upon a determination of an electrical problem, the community shall, if the electrical system is community-owned, disconnect the home from the electrical pedestal on individually metered home sites. If direct billing by the servicing utility company is made, then the utility company shall disconnect the home's electrical service.
(6) An electrical supply line shall not be installed so as to lie on the surface of the ground or permit the cord or line to hang over the home. For all homes installed before July 17, 1985, the line shall not be suspended less than 7 feet from the ground above designated pedestrian walkways. For all homes installed on or after July 17, 1985, if the distance between the electrical pedestal and the home is 2 feet or more, then the line shall be placed underground according to state codes.
