San Diego County Lifts Water Warning For Silver Strand Shoreline

SAN DIEGO, CA — Health officials lifted a water quality warning Wednesday for the Silver Strand Shoreline after water samples met state health standards.

The San Diego County Department of Environmental Health had issued an advisory for the beach area due to excessive bacteria levels in the water.

The department on Wednesday issued an advisory for Fanuel Park in Mission Bay because bacteria levels exceeded state health standards and could cause illness.

Water quality advisories remain in place for Bayside Park at J Street, Tidelands Park, San Diego River Outlet, North Cove Vacation Isle, La Jolla Cove, Avenida De La Playa, and the Children's Pool, according to the department. A water quality warning also remains in place for the Imperial Beach Shoreline and Avenida Lunar in Coronado because of bacteria levels in connection with south swell conditions.

The Tijuana Slough Shoreline remains closed from the international border to the south end of Seacoast Drive until sampling confirms the area is safe for water contact. Until then, officials urged the public to avoid water contact because the water is impacted by sewage and could cause illness.
