LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- Part of Aliso County Beach has been closed due to sewage contamination, officials said.

The water 150 feet upcoast and 150 feet downcoast of Aliso Creek is closed to swimming, surfing and diving because of a sewage spill, Orange County officials said.

The ocean in that area will remain closed until testing finds the water quality meets acceptable standards.
