- Share via
CORONADO — More than 110,000 gallons of raw sewage spilled into Glorietta Bay Sunday afternoon, causing the San Diego County Board of Health to close the Coronado inlet to all activities involving contact with the water, a Coronado police spokesman said.
The spill, the result of a pump leak at the Coronado Municipal Sanitation Station, was discovered shortly after noon, according to Supervisor Gary Rapp of the Coronado Police Department.
Because of the spill, the bay has been closed to swimming, fishing and any other activities involving direct contact with the water or its inhabitants. Boating on the bay is still permitted. The bay will remain closed to swimming for at least the next few days, Rapp said.
