OC Health Care Agency Issues Ocean Water Closure

(Santa Ana, CA) - The Environmental Health division of the OC Health Care Agency has closed the bay water area in the City of Newport Beach from Upper Newport Bay to North Star Beach due to two sewage spills. The first spill of approximately 7,500 gallons was caused by a sewer main break in Costa Mesa; the second spill of approximately 7,500 gallons was caused by a private sewer lateral blockage in Santa Ana.
 
The affected ocean water area will remain closed to ocean water-contact sports until the results of follow-up water quality monitoring meet acceptable standards.
