An Ocean Beach sewage spill prompted a pollution alert in parts of the area, including Dog Beach on Monday.
An estimated 14,850 gallons of sewage spilled at the intersection of Del Cero Ave. and Airoso Ave. in the Adobe Falls area of San Diego. It was caused by debris blockage in a manhole, according to the City of San Diego Waste and Water Department. None of the sewage was recovered, so the nearly 15,000 gallons of sewage flowed into a storm drain that leads to the San Diego River.
Warning signs about the sewage contamination are posted at the San Diego River outlet at Dog Beach in Ocean Beach and will remain in place until samples confirm the water is safe for recreational use.
