LOS ANGELES (CNS) - In the wake of recent heavy rains, Los Angeles County's health department Thursday extended an ocean water quality rain advisory for all county beaches.
The advisory -- now effect until at least Sunday at 8:30 a.m. -- warns that bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash and other hazards from city streets and mountain areas "are likely to contaminate ocean waters around discharging storm drains, creeks and rivers after the rainfall."
People who enter the ocean in those areas could become ill, the health department said.
The advisory could be extended depending on further rainfall, according to the department.
