Huntington Harbour bay water closed due to sewage spill

The Huntington Harbour bay water area in Huntington Beach was closed Monday night by the Orange County Health Care Agency’s Environmental Health Division.

A sewage spill, which was caused by a cracked force main, is blamed for the closure.

The agency said the affected bay water will remain closed to ocean water-contact sports, including swimming, surfing and diving, until follow-up results of water-quality monitoring meet acceptable standards.

Huntington Harbor was also closed a day last August due to a sewage spill.
