Do Not Swim Here: Health Warning Issued For St Paul’s Bay
A health warning has been issued for waters beneath Qawra coast road in St Paul’s bay due to water contamination.
According to the Bathing Water Directive, the Environmental Health Directorate within the Superintendence of Public Health wishes to notify the public that, as a precaution, bathing is not recommended due to an overflow of foul water originating from above the rocks.
