SAN DIEGO — There are several beach water closures and advisories still in place along the San Diego County coast following the heavy rain and flooding earlier this week.

Water closures remain in place at the Sweetwater Channel and Pepper Park after raw sewage was mixed into the water during the Jan. 22 winter storm and flash floods.

Nearly four inches of rain fell Monday in a time span of just a few hours in some areas of the county. It was the city’s rainiest day ever in January and the fourth wettest day on record.

The flash floods caused damage across the county, with some areas under several feet of water.

In the Tijuana River Valley thick piles of sewage was strewn across South Bay neighborhoods and roads, leaving residents to wade through contaminated water.

The storm sent more than 14.5 billion gallons of untreated raw sewage into California from Mexico, according to figures released by the International Boundary and Water Commission.

Water closures at Sweetwater Channel, Pepper Park and Bayside Park in Chula Vista have been in place since Monday.

The water closure was lifted for San Diego Bay on Sunday. However, closures remain in place for the shoreline in front of Sweetwater Channel and Pepper Park, the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health and Quality (DEHQ) said in an update Sunday.
