The OC Health Care Agency (HCA), Environmental Health Services, has closed the open coastal water area in Huntington Beach and Newport Beach spanning from the Talbert Channel outfall at Huntington State Beach to the projection of Grant Street in Newport Beach due to a sewage spill. The sewage spill of approximately 4,000 gallons was caused by a roots and grease blockage of a sewer line in Costa Mesa. The affected ocean water area will remain closed to swimming, surfing, and diving until the results of follow-up water quality monitoring meet acceptable standards.
