Jan. 2007: Mother's Beach, Marine Stadium Beaches Closed Due To Cerritos Channel Spill

On Sept. 29, 2006 LB's Health Dept. expanded beach closures, now closing beaches to swimmers at Mother's Beach and Marine Stadium due to "unhealthy elevated bacterial levels." Meanwhile, the Colorado Lagoon beach area shows "a similar contamination pattern and will remain posted and closed to swimmers." LB's Health Dept. says "recent bacteriological testing at these locations is suggestive of human waste contamination of unknown origin." It adds that "water quality testing will be conducted daily to monitor the bacteriological contamination in the beach waters. Samples are collected daily, but the culture results may take up to 24 hours for bacteriologic confirmation." The Health Department will maintain beach closure postings at Mother's Beach, Marine Stadium and Colorado Lagoon "until water tests return to acceptable levels in compliance with State standards."
