According to a report by ABC7, beaches along the coast in Long Beach are still closed today, due to sewage contamination. The beach became contaminated on Saturday after sewage spilled out of manhole cover in Pasadena and flowed into the Los Angeles river which ultimately drains in Long Beach. Experts estimate 22,000 gallons of sewage overflowed due to a back up in the sewer system blamed on a grease plug. To read more about the ABC report visit ABC7.
