San Diego, CA–County health officials have extended the existing water contact closure area to south county beach shorelines due to sewage-contaminated water flows from the Tijuana River.
The runoff in the Tijuana River has been entering the Tijuana Estuary and observations indicate contamination of ocean water now extends from the International border north to the Silver Strand shoreline, according to the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health and Quality.
Signs warning of sewage-contaminated water will remain in place until sampling results indicate the ocean water is safe for recreational use.
