City of Long Beach Issues Rain Advisory Due to Recent Showers
Recreational swimming areas should be temporarily avoided
Contact:
Long Beach, CA - Long Beach Acting City Health Officer Dr. Cliff Okada has issued a rain advisory for recreational beaches and bays in the City of Long Beach following the rain experienced in the last 24 hours. After any significant rainfall, unhealthy conditions may result from increased runoff from storm drain outlets and rivers, which eventually reach the City's beaches. Recreational swimming areas should be avoided for three days following the end of a rainstorm. This advisory will be extended if the rain continues.
State law requires all local public health agencies with recreational swimming areas to notify the public when conditions might affect the health of swimmers. Further information may be obtained from the Health Department's Water Quality Information Line at 562.570.4199 or online at longbeach.gov/beachwaterquality.
