The San Diego River Dog Beach in Ocean Beach has reopened on Friday after water quality samples met state health standards. This latest development comes after the beach was closed due to a large volume of sewage that was released. San Diego County’s Department of Environmental Health and Quality announced the closure of the San Diego River where it meets Dog Beach in Ocean Beach on Wednesday. According to County officials, 18,000 gallons of sewage were discharged, with an estimated 9,000 gallons reaching the San Diego River near the intersection of Friars Road and Sea World Drive. … The Tijuana Slough, Imperial Beach, Silver Strand and Coronado Shoreline remain closed for similar sewage-related reasons from the Tijuana River.
