Snake River Tiny Homes are designed to connect to the utilities available at your property. Because requirements vary by location, utility connections and site preparation are handled locally after delivery. Here is what to plan for.
Connecting to standard utilities
Our Trailblazer, Outpost and Scout models are all-electric homes designed for connection to an appropriate electrical service at the site. Your home will also need access to a water source and a sewer or septic connection.
Final electrical, water and wastewater connections are handled locally. We recommend arranging qualified local contractors and confirming applicable permits and requirements before delivery.
Remote properties and greater independence
A remote property may use site-provided systems such as solar power, a well or septic, but that does not mean the tiny home itself is sold as a complete off-grid system. Our homes are designed primarily to connect to standard utilities.
Certain options may add flexibility, including solar and propane hookups and a composting toilet. The homes do not include gray-water or black-water holding tanks, so plan for an appropriate water source and sewer or septic connection at the site.
What to plan for
- Electrical: appropriate site service connected by a qualified local electrician
- Water: an appropriate water source at the property
- Wastewater: city sewer or an approved septic connection
- Site setup: leveling, blocking, anchoring and other site work are arranged locally
- Optional flexibility: ask about currently available solar and propane hookups and composting toilet options
