SAN DIEGO–The Department of Environmental Health has expanded the existing water contact closure area at the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge shoreline north to include all of Imperial Beach shoreline (including Camp Surf).

Sewage-contaminated runoff in the Tijuana River has been entering the Tijuana Estuary as a result of this season’s rainfall and is still flowing.

Signs warning of sewage contaminated water will remain in place until field measurements indicate the ocean water is safe for recreational use.
