A burst sewer main in Triq San Pawl in the Ta’ Veċċa area of St Paul’s Bay led to the overflow of raw sewage through the street and into the sea yesterday.
Water Services Corporation workers started carrying out emergency remedial works while Transport Malta officials controlled traffic.
These works were expected to take at least 24 hours and the area will be cleaned and disinfected once repairs are completed. For more information call 8007 2222.
