Marsaxlokk council has filed a judicial protest against Enemalta, claiming that two chimneys at the power station extension in Delimara were built without a permit.
The council pointed out that when the permit for the extension was granted by Mepa, and later during appeal proceedings, it was pointed out by both the corporation and by Mepa that the height of the chimneys was 'a reserved matter'.
Therefore, the council said, the chimneys had been built and completed even though they were not covered by a Mepa permit.
The council held Enemalta responsible for damages and called for the chimneys to be pulled down.
