Los Angeles Rain Prompts Beach Advisory In Malibu

MALIBU, CA — After more rains in Los Angeles County, authorities warned beachgoers to avoid Malibu waters due to increased bacteria, chemicals, trash and debris.

The water advisory will remain in place at all Los Angeles County beaches through at least 10 a.m. Monday, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The advisory could be extended with more rain.

City streets and mountain areas are likely to contaminate oceans and storm drains, creeks and rivers after rainfall, according to the department.

“Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill,” the department said.

The greater Los Angeles area saw rain Friday and a flood advisory was in effect for LA County mountains.

Conditions should dry out on Sunday and Monday, but another potentially strong storm could hit the area by Tuesday.
