SAN PEDRO, Calif.—All beaches in Long Beach and Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro remained closed to swimmers and surfers Feb. 7 due to sewage spills that poured millions of gallons of contaminated material into the ocean.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced Feb. 5 afternoon that sewage had discharged from an unspecified location around 6 a.m., sending untreated sewage into the Dominguez Channel, which leads to the area near Cabrillo Beach. The sewage flow was eventually halted.
