Hundreds of households were without power early this morning after a fault in the distribution system.

The areas affected were Hamrun, Pieta, Gzira and Blata l-Bajda.

Power was lost just before 6 a.m. and was restored at about 8.45 a.m.

An Enemalta spokesman said the fault had affected an 11Kv cable and engineers had worked to restore supply through other routes.
