The damages we have been paid on, we have not submitted much of a detailed bill. Simple description of the damaged facilities, relevant facts, and Cost to Repair: $xxxx.xx. Have been paid by local power company, auto insurance, and our customers. Have an $8000 damage invoice out to local road commission currently for mowing 3 pedestals and may have to fight on that one. Good luck!
