Seventeen million gallons of untreated sewage was discharged into the Santa Monica Bay on Sunday after a power outage, officials said Monday night. The sewage has forced beaches across Southern California to close to the public this week.
Plant officials said the massive discharge was “an emergency measure to prevent the plant from going completely offline and discharging much more raw sewage.”
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued closures on Monday for El Segundo Beach, Grand Avenue Storm Drain, Dockweiler State Beach at Water Way Extension and Dockweiler State Beach at Hyperion Plant. Beaches will be reopened after water quality tests show the affected areas do not have an elevated level of bacteria. Until then, the department urged residents to “avoid contact with ocean water in the affected areas.”
