The liquid smells bad or looks like rust, they say. It stains dishes and sheets.State lawmakers listened to these concerns — and now Colorado will embark on a multiyear effort to address them.HB23-1257, signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis on Monday, will launch a statewide effort to test the water quality in mobile home parks that fall through the cracks of existing testing mechanisms. If testing reveals an issue, the park operator will need to complete a remediation plan and provide safe water for residents.“It feels very empowering,” said Rep. Elizabeth Velasco, D-Glenwood Springs, and one of the bill’s co-sponsors. “We’re finally listening to our communities and supporting working families.”Related ArticlesPolitics | The battle to keep Col...
