James A. Mizzi voiced his understandable frustrations about the pollution in the sea off Xgħajra (June 26). The Water Services Corporation would like to state it carried out investigations and found that there were no instances of sewage overflows or any malfunctions of the sewage infrastructure in the Maltese islands. We would also like to confirm the new sewage treatment plant at Ta’ Barkat was working normally and there were no interruptions in operations.

The WSC informed the authorities concerned so that the source of this pollution may be traced.
