LOS ANGELES (CNS) – As Southern California begins a stretch of dangerous heat, health officials Wednesday were warning people visiting Los Angeles County beaches to avoid entering the water at several locations because of elevated bacteria levels.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued ocean water warnings for the following locations:<\/p>\n
— Montana Avenue storm drain at Santa Monica Beach, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;<\/p>\n
— Pico-Kenter storm drain at Santa Monica Beach near South Tower 20, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;<\/p>\n
— Mother’s Beach in Marina del Rey, entire swim area;<\/p>\n
— Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, entire swim area;<\/p>\n
— Castlerock storm drain at Topanga County Beach, 100 yards up and down the coast from the storm drain;<\/p>\n
— Topanga Canyon Beach in Malibu, 100 yards up and down the coast from the lagoon; and<\/p>\n
— Santa Monica Pier, 100 yards up and down the coast from the pier.<\/p>\n
Health officials said recent water samples showed bacteria levels exceeding state health standards, increasing the risk of illness for swimmers, surfers and others entering the water.<\/p>\n
Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the county’s beach closure hotline, 1-800-525-5662.
