Two Los Angeles-area beaches were shut down for 48 hours after thousands of gallons of sewage spilled into a creek — but that did not seem to bother the crowd of dog walkers, runners, yogis and surfers enjoying the beach early on Tuesday before the day’s heat set in.

An estimated 15,000 gallons of sewage — about the volume a backyard swimming pool holds — were discharged on Saturday afternoon in a neighborhood roughly seven miles east of the Santa Monica Pier, entering Ballona Creek, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in a news release.

“The cause of the sewage discharge was a broken water main that pushed sand into the sewer, causing the blockage,” the agency said.

Parts of Dockweiler State Beach and Venice Beach remained closed, halting any swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters, according to red signs dotted across the beach.

But for locals, it was mostly business as usual, even if the water — at a balmy 70 or so degrees Fahrenheit — was a bit less appealing, and parts of the beach seemed to be quieter than usual.
