LA Controller demands answers to sewage spill that closed down South Bay beaches
Los Angeles Controller Ron Galperin sent a letter to LA Sanitation and Environment on Tuesday, July 20, demanding answers about the cause and impact of a 17 million gallon sewage spill early last week that temporarily closed beaches from El Segundo to the southern end of Playa del Rey. … The Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant, near El Segundo, discharged 17 million gallons of untreated sewage through a one-mile outfall beginning the evening of July 11 and into the morning of July 12, prompting the beach closures.
