Mgarr ix-Xini, Malta is a submarine cable landing point in Malta (coordinates 36.0204°, 14.2713°). It serves 1 submarine cable system, making it a single-cable landing in Malta's international connectivity infrastructure.
The Mgarr ix-Xini Pumping Station is a now-defunct freshwater pumping station located in the Mgarr ix-Xini valley, which used to provide much of the water for the island of Gozo, Malta. In the late 1880s, Lieutenant Governor Hely-Hutchinson requested an inspection of the water supply of Gozo by engineer Osbert Chadwick. Gozo was at the time dependent on water from natural springs and surface flow. Through observations of the vegetation growing in the deep Mgarr ix-Xini valley, Chadwick believed there was source of water close to the surface. Having had previous experience with pumping stations in Malta, he believed this source could be useful for the surrounding villages. Chadwick also reported springs in the vicinity of Ghajnsielem.
