Verbatim regulatory text
Verbatim provisions from VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 12, Topic 19 — Community Water Supply/Sewage Disposal Requirements — each quote is a verified substring of the regulator-published source snapshot, not retyped. Quoted for reference; this is not legal advice. The operational layer (P&P updates, prompts) lives in the regulation update kits.
VA Pamphlet 26-7, Chapter 12 (Minimum Property Requirement), Topic 19 — Community Water Supply/Sewage Disposal Requirements
• This chapter has been revised in its entirety. a. Community Water/Sewer to be Noted in an Appraisal A community water/sewage system refers to a central system that is owned, operated, and maintained by a private corporation or a nonprofit property owners’ association. The appraiser must note that the property is on a community water/sewage system in the appraisal report. b. Sufficient Water Supply The water supply must be sufficient in size for the project. Water quality must be approved by the local or state health authority. c. Adequate Size Sewage System The sewage system must be adequate in size and properly operated and maintained to prevent it from becoming a menace to public health. d. Local/State Authority Approval The lender must obtain evidence of approval of the facilities by the local or state health authority. e. Trust Deed A trust deed is required if the local or state authority that approved the system does not: • enforce compliance with its requirements, • fix rates, and • provide for prompt relief in case of deficient operation, service, or exorbitant rates. f. Trust Deed for Private System If a trust deed is required for a privately-owned system, it should be similar to the trust deed found in HUD Handbook 4075.12.
Operationalizing VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 12, Topic 19 — Community Water Supply/Sewage Disposal Requirements
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
