Health Officer Lifts Closures

The City Health Officer, Dr. Anissa Davis, has lifted the closure order on the final two swimming areas at Alamitos Bay. Mother’s Beach and 56^th Place were re-opened this afternoon following consecutive lab results showing the water to be within state water quality standards.  Alamitos Bay was closed for recreational water contact earlier in the week after a sewage spill. The cause of the spill is still under investigation.
