Reopening of Coronado Beach Marks Improved Water Quality, But Other Coastlines and Pools Remain Closed Due to Sewage Contamination

On Sunday, the Coronado coastline was closed to the public due to high levels of bacteria. However, on Tuesday, improved water quality samples were announced by the county Department of Environmental Health and Quality, allowing the beach to be reopened.

Despite the reopening of the Coronado coastline, other coastlines remained closed due to high levels of bacteria. Tijuana Slough, Imperial Beach, and Silver Strand from the International Border to south of Avenida Lunar were still closed as authorities advised the public to avoid water contact in these areas as sewage contamination could lead to illness.

In addition to the closures, advisories were also issued for the La Jolla Children’s Pool and Ocean Beach’s dog beach. The advisories warned the public of potential health risks from water contamination and advised against water contact in these locations as well.
