For many, Malta’s swimming season is long gone – what with the thunderstorms, strong winds, and cool temperatures that have been taking over our country this month…

…and the latest warning from the Environmental Health Directorate is yet another reason why going for a dip might not be the best idea.

Earlier today, the aforementioned authority warned the Maltese public against swimming in the Qui Si Sana area after sewage was found to be overflowing into bathing water.

Officials from the Environmental Health Directorate are investigating the issue, however, until then, it’s best to stay away from the area.

Believe us, you wouldn’t want to get your hair in that.
