On Saturday, the Orange County Health Care Agency expanded its beach closures after millions of gallons of sewage spilled into the Dominguez Channel in Carson two days prior.
These beaches will remain closed until bacteria levels are within state safety standards. Los Angeles County Public Health and the Los Angeles Sanitation District will collect water quality samples.
“A sewage spill of this magnitude is dangerous and unacceptable and we need to understand what happened,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn.
