The coverage gap most often missed

The most commonly missed gap for this class is pollution coverage for park-run utilities. An AP review found nearly 70% of mobile home parks that run their own water systems violated federal drinking-water rules over five years, and EPA has required parks to rebuild systems after arsenic violations. General liability usually excludes contamination claims. Parks that run water or septic systems should carry pollution coverage, use certified operators, and keep testing current.
