Storm Runoff Triggers Health Warning for Dana Point

With storm runoff carrying bacteria and debris into the ocean, people heading to Orange County beaches were warned today that the water could be harmful until at least Monday morning.

County health officials said people should be careful when swimming, surfing or playing in the ocean, particularly near discharging storm drains, creeks and rivers, which carry bacteria, trash and other potential health hazards.

The rain advisory will remain in effect until at least 7 a.m. Monday.
