Sewage spill closes Southern California beaches
Southern California beaches from Orange to Los Angeles counties were closed over the holiday weekend after as many as 7 million gallons of untreated wastewater spilled into the Pacific Ocean, officials said Sunday. The spill happened after a series of late December storms brought heavy rainfall to the area. A section of Los Angeles County-run sewage system “collapsed,” sending untreated wastewater to already overwhelmed storm drains that lead to sea, some blocked by debris, the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts said in a series of statements.
