Balluta Bay has once again been declared safe for swimming, the health authorities said.

The bay was declared unsafe on August 19 after water testers detected the presence of E.Coli and I. Enterococci bacteria.

Both types of bacteria are generally considered to be indicators of sewage or animal waste contamination.
