The Central Business District, in collaboration with the Marine and Storm Water Unit within the Ministry for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects, carried out works to minimise the risk of flooding at the far end of Triq L-Intornjatur. Works were carried out between July and August and consisted of the installation of a water culvert pipe capable of handling a larger volume of water. The 800mm diameter pipe of total length of 158m was installed in an underground culvert which crosses
below the Mriehel By-pass. The stormwater pipe was connected to the national flood relief project on the Qormi side of the by-pass.
This project cost approximately €158,000 and was fully financed by the Foundation. The works were supervised by the Ministry for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects.
