Drivers warned over burst water pipe on major road

(CNS): Updated 3-30pm — The Water Authority have now fixed the burst pipe which was diverting traffic travelling east on Shamrock Road near Hurley’s Grand Harbour area just past the roundabout this morning. Traffic had been diverted through the supermarket car park as a result of the burst main. The water was flowing across both sides of the road and impacted traffic in both directions and added to the difficulties of the morning commute for workers heading into town. The Water Authority aid service to customers in the area had been interrupted.

"The Water Authority Operations crew isdiligently working to identify the exact location of the leak and as soon as the leak is identified and damage assessed, repairs will begin," a spokesperson stated, as it apologized for the inconvenience caused.
