LA Beach Reopens After Sewage Crisis Averted
LA County public health announced the reopening of Will Rogers State Beach after successfully diverting thousands of gallons of raw sewage from entering the ocean. A root blockage led to a potential spill with about 6,700 gallons of untreated sewage entering the storm drain at Sunset Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades.
Health and Safety Measures
Health officials initially warned visitors to steer clear of the water and wet sand due to the threat of contamination. Fortunately, a low flow diverter executed before the weekend significantly minimized any risks.
- Potential sewage spill averted
- Will Rogers State Beach now open
- Healthy beach conditions for visitors
Weather and Visitor Expectations
The forecast for Labor Day weekend shows mostly clear skies with temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s. Given the end of a record summer travel season, visitor numbers are expected to surge.
