Public Health has UPDATED an ocean water closure due to the release of approximately 14,400 gallons of untreated sewage:
• Dockweiler State Beach from Ballona Creek to one mile South
• Venice Beach from Ballona Creek to one mile North.
Public Health officials are advising residents or visitors planning to visit Los Angeles County beaches to avoid contact with ocean water and wet sand in the areas noted above. The sewage discharge began on May 8th and was stopped at 12:09 p.m. on May 9th, resulting in an estimated 14,400 gallons of sewage entering Ballona Creek.
The Department of Public Health will conduct water sampling beginning on May 10th, and the closures will remain in effect until Public Health receives two sampling results indicating that bacterial levels meet health standards.
