Beaches from El Segundo were closed for swimming following a sewage spill today.

According to  Los Angeles County Supervisor​ Janice Hahn, 17-million gallons of raw sewage went into the ocean, causing nearby beaches at Dockweiler RV Park and El Segundo to close at 11 a.m.


Hahn says there was a mechanical failure at the Hyperion Water Reclamation plant on the shore near LAX.

Hahn adds the sewage went of out two pipes; however, it's unclear where the sewage could end up.

Although the sewage leak has been stopped, LA County is testing water at the beaches.
