San Diego County’s Department of Environmental Health and Quality has issued a water closure of Glorietta Bay in Coronado because of a reported sewage release.
The announcement comes as closures continue at the Tijuana Slough, Imperial Beach Shoreline and Silver Strand Shoreline — all ocean shoreline from the U.S.-Mexico border to the Silver Strand State Beach Campground — due to sewage in water stemming from the Tijuana River watershed.
Beachgoers were advised Thursday that the ocean water in the area contains sewage and may cause illness. Ocean waters will remain closed until sampling and field observations confirm these areas are safe for water contact, a county statement said.
Additionally, the DEHQ has ongoing water advisories due to elevated bacteria levels for La Jolla Children’s Pool, La Jolla Cove, Avenida De La Playa, Tourmaline Surf Park, the main entrance stairs at San Elijo State Beach, Tidelands Park and Coronado Shoreline.
