SAN DIEGO – Multiple San Diego beach areas have been flagged for potential medical safety concerns due to high levels of bacteria in the water, stemming from sewage contamination.
Three more beaches currently have advisories warning against water contact. These include Mission Bay, La Jolla and the dog beach at Ocean Beach. “Over 135 billion gallons of untreated sewage have flowed into the Pacific Ocean, leading to over 900 consecutive days of beach closures,” Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre told FOX 5 San Diego. “It is a profound public health crisis that has affected every asset of life in our community.
“Our county has been leading the fight in partnership with our local cities to clean up the Tijuana River sewage crisis,” she said. “We’ve been demanding the state and federal government take action to protect public health and clean up local beaches, and that has yielded some financial investments for improvements, it reinforces our commitment to protecting our beaches, bays and coastline.”
