Purpose and Request:
recommended action
The purpose of this hearing is to inform the Board of Health (BOH) about violations related to the discharge of sewage from a recreational vehicle (RV) located at 57075 E Maplewood Place, Strasburg, CO.

The Board's guidance is also sought on next steps should noncompliance continue...end
