Beach Reopens After 3-Day Closure Forced by Spill
- Share via
LAGUNA BEACH — Aliso Beach reopened Tuesday afternoon after a three-day closure caused by a 1,500-gallon spill of partially treated waste water from a nearby treatment plant.
Results of the county’s bacteria tests on Sunday and Monday fell well within the state guidelines for bacteria levels, according to Monica Mazur, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Health Care Agency.
“They looked really good,” Mazur said.
Saturday’s spill occurred after a sewer line cap broke off at the Aliso Water Management Agency sewage treatment plant, located a quarter-mile from the mouth of Aliso Creek. County officials closed a 2,000-foot stretch of the beach following the spill.
