A day after Tropical Storm Hilary brought heavy rainfall and widespread flooding in Southern California Aug. 20, a new concern arose for some coastal communities after sewage was seen flushed out on Los Angeles area beaches and into the Pacific Ocean.

According to Soledad Ursúa, a member of the Venice Neighborhood Council, hundreds of people were at Venice Beach Aug. 21, many with children playing steps away from sewage on the beach.
