HUNTINGTON BEACH
Signs warning swimmers about excessive levels of enterococcus bacteria in the ocean were removed Wednesday from a 3,700-foot stretch of Huntington State Beach, said Monica Mazur, an environmental health specialist with the Orange County Health Care Agency.
However, advisory placards remain standing in a 1,000-foot section of the beach near Newland Avenue.
Enterococcus bacteria may indicate the presence of other disease-producing organisms, Mazur said.
The signs first appeared in a 4,000-foot section of the state beach Monday.
