Yellostone Fishing Bridge RV park - raised sewer connection

[RinconVTR]

Why does Yellowstone's Fishing Bridge RV park have all their sewer connections 8-12" above ground level and encased in concrete?

Being above ground they probably are protecting the pipe from damage, animal and human. But why would they not make them flush to the ground as normal?

The newest sites had the same situation, but had an additional port, lower but still above ground level on an angle, on the side of the concrete surround.

Actually looks like the short piece wasn't even needed by how the hose isn't stretched out all the way 😉

I know that wasn't what the OP wanted to read....

That looks like a backin site. Folks would drive over it if it was flush with the ground.

Doesn't look like a very good location for the sewer hookup. Never seen one in the back like that.

Snow and/or runoff.

Luckily it looks like they don't get more than a foot of snow there.;)

They would flood and over whelm the septic system if they were at ground level.
