LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued a water advisory Saturday, urging residents to avoid swimming, surfing and playing in ocean waters at some Los Angeles County beaches.
The advisory was issued for the following ocean and bay areas:
- Herondo Street storm drain in Hermosa Beach near Hermosa Tower TK: 100 yards up and down coast of the storm drain
- Solstice Creek at Dan Blocker County Beach: 100 yards up and down the coast from the creek
- Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro: The entire swim area
This advisory has been issued due to bacterial levels exceeding health standards when last tested. People entering these waters could become ill. This advisory will remain in place until lifted by the Department of Public Health.
Meanwhile, due to sewage remains, the following area was closed:
- From Encinal Canyon to 31250 Broad Beach Road, in Malibu
This closure remains in effect until Public Health receives two sampling results indicating that bacterial levels meet health standards.
And as a result of the fire impacts, the following ocean and bay areas were closed:
- Las Flores State Beach to Santa Monica State Beach
- Surfrider Beach to Las Flores State Beach
- Santa Monica State Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way
These remain in effect until further notice.
This information is also posted on the advisory hotline at 800-525- 5662 and on the Environmental Health website; www.PublicHealth.LACounty.gov/beach.
