A small town in Colorado has been declared abandoned by the state after its remaining elected officials resigned, leading its troubled water system to become a "health hazard" to its residents, according to state officials.
The office of the Colorado Secretary of State said the determination was made this week after a public hearing showed that "the Town of Hartman had no Board of Trustees or Town Clerk, was unable to hold a town election, and owned infrastructure critical for the treatment or delivery of water to residents."

Colorado town abandoned after all public officials resign, drinking water ruled health hazard
A small Colorado town plagued by fraud allegations and violent altercations was deemed abandoned after all elected officials resigned from their posts and the local water became a health hazard to the citizens.
The former statutory town of Hartman, CO, with a population of 30 and little more than a town hall and a post office, was declared abandoned by Secretary of State Jena Griswold on Wednesday.
“Yesterday, the Colorado Department of State issued a formal determination that the Town of Hartman has been abandoned pursuant to 31-3-201 C.R.S.,” Griswold’s office announced.
The town had been without any form of government since January 14 when the three remaining board trustees resigned, a day after a violent brawl broke out between four older woman following a tense board meeting, the Denver Post reported.
