BEACH CLOSURE: Swimmers should avoid swimming in areas west of the Belmont Pier in Long Beach after 12,000 gallons of sewage spilled into the LA River in Compton.
“The sewage spill occurred in the City of Compton due to a grease blockage causing sewage to overflow from a manhole,” the Long Beach Health Department tweeted.
Long Beach has about seven miles of public beach, and city officials say its Recreational Water Quality health inspection team is monitoring water quality along the affected beach sites until they comply with state water quality standards. Water samples are already collected and routinely tested at Long Beach’s public beaches to monitor bacterial levels.For more information about Long Beach recreational beach water quality, call 570-4199 or visit longbeach.gov/beachwaterquality.
