A wave of San Diego beaches have been shut down following a disgusting discovery in the water.

City health officials released an updated advisory and closure list of beaches due to sewage creating frighteningly high levels of bacteria in the open waters.

Water contact closures were issued for Silver Strand Shoreline, Imperial Beach Shorelines, and the Tijuana Slough Shoreline, along the U.S, Mexico border.

Advisories were issued for the La Jolla, Children's Pool, Coronado, Coronado Lifeguard Tower, the Ocean Beach, Dog Beach, the San Diego River outlet, Mission Bay, North Cove, and Vacation Isle.

In Imperial Beach, the number one dirtiest beach in the country, bright yellow warning signs have been placed on the sand as sewage has been flowing in from Tijuana, Mexico, KGTV reported.

'The level of stress when you smell the stench, when you get sick and you worry about your children, and the level of stress and the depression is real,' Dr Marvel Harrison said during a press conference on Monday.

'It’s difficult to measure, but it’s there.'

Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre and San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer announced that they plan to work on obtaining state and federal funding to fix the century-old sewage problem in the city.

Can’t go wrong there either!😀

I know that.

Look at the typo on the map.

Visited and went to La Jolla in the late eighties. Seems like it’s radically changed. OMG posted a video of children trafficked in a San D hotel.
With such a large population of retired military… I don’t understand why they aren’t storming the gates of these children’s hell.

California is a shxthole so it stands to reason.

"A wave of San Diego beaches"

I think it's safe to assume that the pun, however dull and unnecessary, was intended. If it was intentional, it may also be safe to assume that the author believes that readers have no appreciable sense of humor. Who needs it? Stop polluting your own articles! Maybe then more people will read past the first sentence.

I’m in Naples, FL this minute. No one on the beach yesterday at 33rd St S. Perfect day. Not a bit of raw sewage!

Check the currents map. The current is flowing from the north to the south.

You could catch all the Browns you want with a net.

[Sequoyah101]

So, explain how the sewage is flowing from south to north as they say it is. Is that a lie too?

The TJ river open sewer is the cause duh

As is vagrants using the rivers and canals that lead to the ocean as toilets.
