Long Beach ordered all its beaches temporarily closed Saturday because 50,000 gallons of sewage spilled into the Los Cerritos Channel.
Long Beach health official officer Dr. Anissa Davis gave the order that shut down about seven miles of beachfront in the city, according to Long Beach Environmental Health Bureau Manager Judeth Luong.
The order came after Davis received a report from the Los Angeles County Department of Sanitation that the sewage spill occurred in Long Beach, Luong said.
