San Diego County’s Department of Environmental Health and Quality has announced the closure of the San Diego River where it meets Dog Beach in Ocean Beach after a large volume of sewage was released.
According to the DEHQ, 18,000 gallons of sewage was discharged, with an estimated 9,000 gallons reaching the San Diego River near the intersection of Friars Road and Sea World Drive.
Beachgoers were advised that the ocean water contains sewage and may cause illness. The water contact closure will remain in place until sampling and field observations confirm these areas are safe for water contact, according to a county statement.
The Tijuana Slough, Imperial Beach, Silver Strand, and the Coronado shoreline remain closed for similar sewage-related reasons from the Tijuana River.
