A water main near the Turkish cemetery junction with Aldo Moro Street has been damaged, leading residents of Hamrun and Marsa without water for several hours
The Water Services Corporation said in a statement that this was "unfortunately" not the first time that "a critical node of its water distribution system" was damaged.
The corporation said that the water supply had been restored by 2.30pm, using a system close by. However, work on the damaged water main is still ongoing.
The Marsa Junction Project team said that it was supporting the Water Services Corporation to complete the necessary repairs as soon as possible.
Traffic was not affected by the damaged main.
