2 Los Angeles County Beaches Closed Due To Massive Sewage Discharge

KTLA | 5/9/24

Two Los Angeles County beaches are closed due to a massive sewage discharge on Thursday.

The closure was caused by the release of around 14,400 gallons of untreated sewage into ocean waters, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

You keep using that term. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The affected beaches include:

  • Venice Beach – From Ballona Creek to one mile north
  • Dockweiler State Beach – From Ballona Creek to one mile south

People who enter the ocean during this time could become ill, especially children, the elderly or those who are immunocompromised.

The sewage discharge began on May 8 and ended on May 9 at 12:09 p.m. This caused around 14,400 gallons of sewage to enter Ballona Creek.
