More than 9,280 homeless people live in about 6,800 recreational vehicles (RV) in Los Angeles County, according to a point-in-time count released last month by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
Normally, RV service providers who also collect sewage from rented-out RVs and mobile toilets are required to obtain a license to handle wastewater, and sewage is required to be dumped at a licensed facility. But homeless individuals who park such RVs in makeshift encampments along urban streets aren’t following such regulations.
