Ocean Water Monitoring Program
| The
Water Quality Program is responsible for monitoring
ocean water along the Los Angeles County coastline and taking appropriate action when
water quality criteria are not met or an incident such as a sewage spill occurs. Beaches
are posted with warning signs anytime State ocean water quality standards are not met and
beaches are closed whenever there is a known sewage or chemical spill which affects ocean
waters. Rain advisories are issued whenever there is significant rainfall which may affect
bacteria levels in ocean waters. |
| The Water Quality Program offers a 24-hour information hotline on the conditions of ocean waters. The hotline provides the latest information on beach closures and rain advisories. Messages are updated as conditions change. |
