A fault which knocked out the telephone service in Cottonera today was caused by water leakage into a cable, a spokesman for GO said this afternoon.

Engineers are working fast to replace the cable, in Bulebel, and service should be restored by this evening.

The fault has affected between 600 and 700 households.

The company regretted the inconvenience caused.
