San Diego County officials have determined some of the water in Imperial Beach is now safe to swim and surf in.
Beaches there have been closed for more than 1,000 consecutive days because of sewage contamination from the Tijuana River.
On Sunday, the County Department of Environmental Health and Quality sent out a new report.
The agency says the water from Cortez Avenue to the end of Seacoast Drive now meets state health standards, and the water contact closure has been lifted.
However, several other beaches in San Diego County were closed to swimmers and surfers Sunday because of high bacteria levels, according to county health officials.
Water contact closures have been issued for the following locations due to bacteria levels exceeding health standards:
-- Tijuana Slough Shoreline, ocean shoreline from U.S./Mexico border, including Border Field State Park and the Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge.
Additionally, water contact advisories were issued for the following locations due to bacteria levels exceeding health standards:
-- La Jolla, Children's Pool;
-- La Jolla, La Jolla Cove Beachline;
-- San Diego Bay -- Coronado, Glorietta Bay Park Shoreline.
