IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. (AP) The entire shoreline of Southern California’s Imperial Beach is closed to swimmers and surfers after sewage-contaminated runoff flowed north again from Mexico’s Tijuana River.
The closure announced Friday will be in place until testing shows the water is safe, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Reports of the putrid smell have been flooding in from residents of coastal communities for weeks, the newspaper said.

“The stench was crazy, just terrible,” said Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina. “We’re just going into our round robin of endless openings and closures because of the residual sewage in the river.”
