DEL MAR–An estimated 750 gallon sewage spill occurred this morning from a manhole at 1313 Luneta Drive in Del Mar. The cause of the spill was an unknown blockage in a sewer line which started at approximately 9:30 a.m. and ended at approximately 10 a.m. when crews from the City of Del Mar, Department of Public Works cleared the blockage.
The majority of the 750 gallons of sewage flowed into an adjacent storm drain that leads to the 15th Street storm drain system outfall. Signs warning of sewage contamination are posted 500 feet north and south of the 15th Street storm drain system outfall at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar and will remain in place until samples confirm that water is safe for recreational use.
