Authorities issued an ocean water closure around Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro Thursday due to the release of approximately 100,000 gallons of sewage.
The closure affects an area three-quarters of a mile upstream and downstream from the beach, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
“Public Health officials are advising residents or visitors to avoid contact with ocean water and wet sand in the areas noted above. The release impacted the asphalt and flowed to the nearby beach, affecting both the sand and ocean water,” the department said.
Officials will conduct water sampling, and the closure will remain in effect until Public Health receives sampling results indicating that bacterial levels meet health standards.
Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the county’s beach closure hotline at 1-800-525-5662.
