The City of San Diego says a sewage breach polluted the San Diego River and shut down popular Dog Beach in Ocean Beach. <\/p>\n
They say a valve failure was reported around 5 a.m. Wednesday at a nearby pump station and released about 18-thousand gallons of sewage, about half of that reached the San Diego River.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Authorities closed the entrance channel of Mission Bay and also westbound traffic on Friars Road for work crews to fix the valve and clean up the spill.\u00a0Environmental clean-up requires shoveling contaminated soil and treating with agricultural lime to sanitize and neutralize odors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dog Beach will remain closed until water testing confirms bacterial levels are within health standards.<\/p>\n
