Los Angeles County Issues Health Warnings for High Bacterial Levels at Local Beaches

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has warned several popular beaches about ocean water use. High bacterial levels have prompted advisories against swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters at areas surrounding several storm drains and piers. According to a bulletin released by the

Los Angeles County Department of Public Health

, locations including Dockweiler State Beach and Santa Monica Pier are on the watch list.

Warnings are specified for the beaches at Dockweiler State Beach Westchester Storm Drain, Castlerock Storm Drain at Topanga County Beach, and Windward Storm Drain at Venice Beach—all within a 100-yard radius from their respective storm drains. The swim areas at Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro and Mothers Beach in Marina Del Rey have also been included, as detailed by the

County of Los Angeles, California

. The public is being warned to keep their distance from these areas where bacterial levels exceeding health standards were found when last tested.

However, there’s a silver lining for some beachgoers as the

Public Health Department

also announced the lifting of warnings at Outer Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro and Sweetwater Canyon Storm Drain at Carbon Canyon Beach. Recent water quality tests at these locations have shown that they are now within the State standards for bacterial levels.

For those wanting to stay informed about the condition of their beachfront havens,

Los Angeles County

provides a 24-hour beach closure hotline at 1-800-525-5662. Visit the Public Health website for real-time information on beach conditions and to view a detailed map of impacted locations.
