A five-day closure has been lifted for all of the Orange County coastal waters closed last week by a 1.4-million-gallon sewage spill in Laguna Beach.
The county Health Care Agency removed its closure signs between El Moro Creek at Crystal Cove State Park and the southernmost point of Dana Strand in Dana Point early Monday afternoon after two consecutive days of water sampling showed that bacteria levels met acceptable health standards, an agency spokeswoman said.
The leak, which occurred Wednesday, was caused by a broken valve on a 24-inch city sewage pipe in Laguna Beach near Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, officials said. A valve assembly on the main pipeline failed about a quarter-mile from the Coastal Treatment Plant in Aliso Canyon, apparently because of long-term corrosion, Laguna BeachThe amount of the spill was initially estimated at 4 million gallons but was later revised downward as more information became available, according to the city.
