Sewage Spill Spurs Closure in Peninsula
From Times Wire Reports
A sewage spill closed a portion of the bay in Newport Beach on Wednesday to swimmers and divers, health officials said.
The water at N Street Beach on the Balboa Peninsula was declared off-limits after about 100 gallons of sewage was discharged from a ruptured line, said Larry Honeybourne of the county Health Care Agency.
The rupture occurred after roots and paper from the city’s sewage collection system blocked the lines, he said.
