A portion of Huntington Harbour is closed to swimming and diving after about 600 gallons of sewage spilled into the water Tuesday, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency.

The spill, caused by a private sewer blockage in Stanton, affected the harbor water between Sunset Aquatic Marina and Portofino Cove Marina, according to the agency.

The earliest the area can reopen is Friday, once bacteria testing is done, the agency said.
