After written reasonable notice to the provider, unless, in the sole determination of the city, an imminent danger exists, any rights-of-way within the city which are disturbed or damaged during the construction, maintenance or reconstruction by a provider of its system may be required by the city, at the provider’s expense, to be restored to a condition as good as that prevailing before such work was commenced. Upon doing so, the city shall submit to such a provider an itemized statement of the cost for repairing and restoring the rights-of-way intruded upon. The provider shall, within 30 days after receipt of the statement, pay to the city the entire amount thereof. [Code 2000 § 16-13-36].
