Birkirkara Household Left Without Water For Four Days Amid Disruptive Road Works

A household in Birkirkara was left without water for four days after roadworks in the area triggered what authorities described as “unforeseen issues.”
A resident of Triq Olaf Gollcher told Lovin Malta that his home lost access to water on Monday. He immediately contacted the Water Services Corporation (WSC) for assistance after spotting a leak from one of the pipes exposed by trenching works outside his apartment. He said he filed five or six complaints but received no resolution for days.
“Living without water became increasingly difficult to manage,” he said. “We’re working individuals and this caused significant disruption to our daily lives.”
On Wednesday afternoon, WSC officials arrived on site and managed to restore the water supply.
In response to questions from Lovin Malta, a spokesperson for the WSC confirmed that “unforeseen issues arose during ongoing work by a contracted contractor, temporarily affecting some households.”
The works include the replacement and upgrades of potable water main.
“While we apologise for the inconvenience caused, please rest assured that all necessary measures are being taken to restore full service as quickly as possible and to ensure works proceed in line with WSC standards.”
