Public health issues ocean water advisory after recent storm
– The County of San Luis Obispo Public Health Department is advising the public to avoid contact with ocean water during significant rainstorms and for at least three days afterward.
Officials said rainstorm runoff can transport high levels of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa from watersheds and urban areas to the ocean. Exposure to these organisms can cause skin, respiratory, and intestinal problems. Young children, older adults, and people with compromised immune systems are especially vulnerable.
Surfers, swimmers, and others are advised to avoid ocean water during this period, especially near creeks, rivers, storm drains, and other runoff outlets that empty into the ocean.
