California officials close ENTIRE shoreline because of Mexican sewage flowing north and contaminating water

The entire shoreline of a Southern California city is closed to swimmers after sewage-contaminated runoff flowed into California from Mexico's Tijuana River.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the San Diego County Department of Environment Health issued the order Sunday.

They are expanding on the closure that has been in place for months for part of the Imperial Beach coast - which now encompasses the whole shoreline in the city.

Officials say more than 110 million gallons (416 million liters) of toxic storm water has flowed north from Mexico since April, making the picturesque spot dangerous to swimmers.
