Sewage spill closes Long Beach's coastal beaches, swimming areas and lagoons
About 29,000 gallons of sewage spilled in Long Beach, California, on Friday evening, and roughly 14,000 gallons reached the ocean. All six miles of the city's open beaches, bay swimming areas and lagoons were closed through Sunday.
Long Beach closed all of its coastal swimming areas after about 29,000 gallons of sewage spilled near Livingston Drive and Second Street at about 6:30 p.m. Friday, according to the city's Utilities Department.
All six miles of open coastal beaches, bay swimming areas and lagoons in the city were closed and remained so on Sunday. Crews recovered about 15,000 gallons of the sewage, while the remaining 14,000 gallons were discharged into the ocean.
City officials said the spill was not related to the weekend rainstorm. Work was underway to repair the damaged pipe and clean up the area.
Swimmers and surfers are advised to stay out of the water until the closures are lifted.
