Sewage-Contaminated Runoff Force Closure Of Imperial Beach Shorelines

February 12, 2016 By sdcnews

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

Sewage-contaminated runoff in the Tijuana River has been entering the Tijuana Estuary as a result of recent rainfall. Sample results indicate contamination of ocean water has occurred in Imperial Beach. Signs warning of sewage contaminated water will remain in place until field measurements indicate the ocean water is safe for recreational use
