IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. — Two South Bay doctors say they have data that shows a correlation between bacteria levels in the area’s water and the number of diarrhea cases in their patients.
In late August, the city of Imperial Beach dealt with Tropical Storm Hillary, a boil water advisory, and a sewage spill on Hollister Street. The doctors showed ABC 10News a graph of the data they compiled, comparing the illness of their patients with water quality levels and advisories in place at the time.
The doctors said the patients weren’t only from Imperial Beach, but also Chula Vista, San Ysidro, and as far north as Coronado. None of the patients reported being in the ocean around the time of the illness, which makes the doctors wonder how they were getting sick.
