Authorities lifted the warning against swimming in the area between Westin and Portomaso in St. Julian's.
The Environmental Health Directorate had issued a notice on 16 May, saying that bathing was not recommended at Wilġa Street due to the presence of "microbiological contamination affecting bathing water quality and presenting a risk to bathers' health".
It said the area was now safe for swimming, after various samples of sea water were tested in recent days.
