Enemalta investigating cable faults

Enemalta Corporation is investigating high voltage cable faults in Mikiel Anton Vassalli Street close to the National Pool at Tal-Qroqq.

A fault occurred last Friday afternoon and as a result a power failure was registered in parts of Sliema, Msida and Ta' Xbiex. Enemalta took immediate action and restored the supply two hours later.

But another fault occurred on Tuesday evening on the same high voltage cable some 60 metres from the original fault in the same street. This time a power failure was registered in Msida Circus and parts of Ta' Xbiex. Electricity was restored just over an hour later.

As part of investigations by the corporation, one lane of Mikiel Anton Vassalli Street has been closed down in the direction towards St Julians. Drivers are advised to use caution in this area and are requested to cooperate with police/traffic wardens present in the area. The corporation may be reached on freephone 8007 2224.
