The Environmental Health Directorate within the Superintendence of Public Health has notified that that during the last days, repeated sampling of seawater from the bathing site at Wied iz-Zurrieq shows that it is once again fit for bathing and thus the health warning is hereby being lifted.

On 9 August, the Environmental Health Directorate had issued a warning that swimming at Wied iż-Żurrieq was not recommended due to a sewage overflow from a private property.

For further information, the public is kindly requested to contact the Environmental Health Directorate between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on telephone number 21337333 or by email on [email protected].
