Guidelines
The payment of property damages necessitated by a utility adjustment is not considered a right of way charge, but is reimbursable when properly documented. Right‑of‑way charges are confined to those instances where there is an interest in land acquired.
Losses to improvements such as crops or fences caused by utility construction will be considered as damages and properly chargeable by the utility as a construction or relocation expense that was incurred and paid for by the utility.
