North Dakota Century Code Title 49. Public Utilities § 49-02-22. Charges for raising and lowering lines--Reimbursement for unreasonable delay

Any party requesting the raising or lowering of electric supply and communication lines shall be required to pay not more than the actual cost reasonably and necessarily incurred therefor. The commission shall, upon application, and after notice and hearing, review and determine the reasonableness of any charges assessed for the raising and lowering of electric supply and communication lines, and if said charges are found unreasonable, the commission shall fix a just and reasonable charge; provided, however, that any person, firm, corporation, or limited liability company in charge of electric supply or communication lines, who shall fail, except for good cause, to have said lines raised or lowered to permit the movement of buildings or other bulky objects at the time agreed upon, shall be liable for reasonable costs, damages, and expenses occasioned by such unreasonable delay.
