I don't understand this news story...

I've been browsing through Spanish newspapers on Spanishdict, and I came across this news story on Terra. Could anyone explain it to me? I understand that the beach was closed because the water had a small level of bacteria in it, but what does it have to do with the toilet?
I'm seriously confused. I know it might seem a bit trivial question to be asking here, but please can someone help me out?
Another thank you is in order.
Thank you!

They do the same thing in beaches all the time in the U.S. Sometimes waste water is surged out into the ocean. Bateria levels are always monitored. If they reach a level that is too high, they close down the beach.

Ah, okay. But what does it have to do with toilets? :O - flyboy700, Jun 4, 2011
Here they are refering to 'baño" not as a bathroom but as the act of hanging out in the water at the beach. At least that is my interpretation. - Beatrice-Codder, Jun 4, 2011
Okay. Hmmm. I thought toilets were somehow linked to this story. But anyway, thanks for clearing up my misconceptions! - flyboy700, Jun 4, 2011
Slightly embarrassing. - flyboy700, Jun 4, 2011
