Calling All Swimmers! Beware Of Sewage Spill

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) ― Swimmers are being warned to stay out of the water at four Alamitos Bay beaches because of a sewage spill near Long Beach Marine Stadium.

Lifeguard Capt. Louie Martinet says a clogged pipeline sent 12,000 gallons of sewage into Spinaker Bay on Saturday.

Health Department spokesman Nelson Kerr says Mother's Beach,
Marine Stadium, Colorado Lagoon and Alamitos Bay are closed to swimmers.
 
The beaches could reopen as early as Tuesday if bacteria levels return to normal levels.
