Sewage spill prompts closure of stretch of beach in Newport Beach

NEWPORT BEACH — A sewage spill prompted the closure Monday night of a mile-long stretch of beach in Newport Beach until further notice.

The spill of approximately 1,000 gallons “was caused by an operator error during routine maintenance of a sewer main line” and closed the beach between Bayside Drive Beach and China Cove, according to a statement from the OC Health Care Agency.

The affected bay water area will remain closed until results of follow-up water quality monitoring meet acceptable standards, the agency said.
