Any person in violation of the franchise requirement of this chapter or a franchise issued under it who damages a right-of-way shall be responsible for restoration of the right-of-way to the condition that existed prior to the violation. If such person fails or refuses to restore the right-of-way after 30 days notice from the village, and if the village determines that the civil infraction remedy is inadequate under the circumstances, the village may initiate proceedings in the appropriate court to recover the cost estimated to accomplish the restoration, or recover such costs as have been actually expended by the village in achieving the restoration, as the case may be. Such costs shall include finance and reasonable administrative costs estimated or incurred.
