From Times Staff and Wire Reports
County health officials reopened a two-mile stretch of beach near Ballona Creek on Thursday after tests showed that bacteria levels had returned to acceptable levels after a sewage spill earlier this week.
The spill occurred overnight Monday when equipment at a Culver City pumping station failed. Between 20,000 and 30,000 gallons of raw sewage spilled into Ballona Creek, which empties into the ocean.
Updated information on beach closures is available by calling (800) 525-5662.
