Warnings Posted at Storm Drain Outfalls
Warning signs have been posted at two storm drain outfalls, advising beachgoers to avoid contact with them for a few days.
The county’s Environmental Health Division put up the warnings at the Kalorama Street and Ash Street outfalls after about 1,500 gallons of untreated sewage spilled into a Ventura storm drain.
For about two weeks, after a sewer pipe broke, the sewage spilled into the storm drain on Buena Vista Street at Hemlock Street before workers stopped it Monday.
The discharge was held in the Kalorama outfall at San Buenaventura State Beach and did not reach the beach.
Contact with the drain should be avoided for at least three days.
