A 1,000-foot stretch of ocean in Seal Beach was off-limits Monday due to a sewage spill, according to OC Health.

The ocean water at the beach from the San Gabriel River to a point 1,000 feet south was closed until further notice, a posting on the agency’s website said.

A power outage at a pump station caused about 3,000 gallons of sewage to leak into Coyote Creek, a tributary to the river, on Saturday afternoon in La Mirada.
