A property owner today filed a judicial protest against Enemalta, saying he was being sent electricity bills relating to a property in Marsa which had no electricity supply.

Alfred Xuereb said he bought the property some years ago. It was condemned and did not have an electricity meter. Yet over the past seven years he had received electricity bills and an outstanding amount of €1,000 was being shown.

He said that he had protested to Enemalta who sent a surveyor who had confirmed that there was no electricity service in the property.

Yet the bills continued to be received. Enemalta sent the surveyor 20 times, but there was no stopping the bills and the balance continued to increase in an inexplicable manner.

Mr Xuereb said he had even been warned that the electricity supply to his father's residence would be cut off.

He said he had given up dealing with Enemalta and was now calling on it to stop billing him and withdraw its threat to cut off electricity to his father's house.
