WindanSea Beach Reopened After 1,000 Gallon Sewage Spill

The County of San Diego's Department of Environmental Health closed the section of the beach on Thursday.

County health officials have reopened all of La Jolla's popular WindanSea Beach after approximately 1,000 gallons of sewage spilled into the water. 

The County of San Diego's Department of Environmental Health said sample results from the City's Microbiology Lab showed that the parts of the beach they closed on Thursday were safe for recreational use. 

The beach stretching from Nautilus Street to Marine Street had been closed for days. The stretch of beach is about 2,000 feet long. 

A ruptured force main at a pump station on the 100 block of Fern Glen at Vista Del Mar, adjacent to the beach, spilled approximately 1,000 gallons of sewage into the water.
