17-million-gallon sewage spill at Los Angeles' largest treatment plant closes miles of Southern California beaches

 

Miles of beaches in Los Angeles were closed to swimmers Monday as 17 million gallons of sewage from the city's largest treatment plant spilled into Santa Monica Bay the night before.

 

A mechanical failure "at the Hyperion plant last night caused untreated sewage to be discharged into the ocean," Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said on Twitter. "Water samples are being tested and I'm getting more information about the scope of the problem. Beaches from El Segundo to the Dockweiler RV Park are closed for swimming."

 

Closure signs were posted in the areas around El Segundo and Dockweiler State Beaches, as well as Grand Ave. Storm Drain, and officials urged visitors from going into the water. The beaches, which in all total about four miles, will remain closed until water sample tests come up negative for bacteria, the County Department of Public Health said in a news release.
