Sewage spill closes 1.75-mile stretch of Long Beach

A 1.75-mile stretch of coastline in Long Beach is closed due to a 16,000-gallon sewage spill that occurred Tuesday, June 17, in Glendale and entered the Los Angeles River, according to Heal the Bay.
Since the river empties into San Pedro Bay, Long Beach locations are closed as a precaution. Beaches are closed west of Belmont Pier to 3rd Place until testing determines bacteria levels in the water are within state standards.
For further information contact the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services at (562) 570-4199.
If state standards for recreational water quality are not met the beach is posted with signs, warning the public to avoid body contact with the ocean water.
The health warning stays in effect for the beach until water re-sample results are below the state bacteriological standards.
