County extends water contact closure at Tijuana Estuary

September 8, 2019 By sdcnews

SAN DIEGO–The County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health has extended the existing water contact closure area at the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge shoreline north to include all of Imperial Beach.

Sewage-contaminated runoff in the Tijuana River has been entering the Tijuana Estuary. Recent seawater samples indicate high levels of bacteria in Imperial Beach.

Signs warning of sewage contaminated water will remain in place until sampling results indicate the ocean water is safe for recreational use.
