LA JOLLA–An estimated 5,000 gallon sewage spill occurred on Tuesday at the Children’s Pool at La Jolla beach.
The spill occurred when a wer lateral became blocked causing sewage to flow southwest down Coast Boulevard. The sewage entered a storm drain which discharges to the beach at Children’s Pool, impacting the beach and potentially impacting the surrounding coastline.
The sewage spill began on October 14 around 5 a.m. and was stopped the same day around 8:45 a.m. Signs warning of sewage contamination are posted at Children’s Pool, South Casa Beach, and at other beach access points extending approximately 1,000 feet north and south of Children’s Pool. The signswill remain in place until samples confirm that water is no longer impacted.
