All the water had to be removed from the cable before further repairs could be made, the corporation said. Enemalta expects to complete repairs to the cable by this morning. Due to these repairs, electricity service was suspended yesterday in parts of St Julian’s, Swieqi, Gzira and nearby areas. Steps are being taken to avoid suspending the supply in the areas that were affected yesterday.

Enemalta Corporation said that work has been going on around the clock and will continue until everything is back to normal. Although the Corporation is in no way responsible for what happened on Wednesday, it regrets any inconvenience caused to those who were affected or will be affected by such interruptions.
