4 miles of Laguna Beach CLOSED due to sewage spill

[OCdiving Deb]

Bad water quality news this morning in Laguna Beach. A sewage spill has closed 4 miles of Laguna beaches (as of right now) and even some streets. The current beach closure is from Crescent all the way down to Camel Point - which I think is around Victoria in South Laguna.

This article in the OC Register explains a lot of details

The constant stream of waste spewed out onto Glenneyre Street, created a putrid smell similar to rotten eggs hanging in the air directly near the broken pipe and several streets over.

Nasty...

Ewwww, no beach diving for a few days.

And why is Laguna Sea Sports reporting 12 to 15 foot vis?

Dive Conditions in Laguna Beach California

Who knows. Since no divers have reported in today, it must be yesterdays report?

I just have a vision in my head of a horrible boss yelling at his employee making him dive in the sewage so he can come back and report the vis!

All the more reason to come dive Catalina! 50-60 ft vis and no sewage as long as you're outside of Avalon Bay (and there it is just a little seepage, no ocean dumps).

Thank-God this happened after my dive yesterday evening. One thing I do not want to see on a dive is the not-so-elusive "Broen Trout", but this is going to be a disaster for Pasley!

Ick, I read about this....that's absolutely horrible. I really hope they can figure out the underlying cause and prevent it from happening ever again.

I checked LSS's current conditions and they now have it shown that the beaches are closed due to sewage spill.
