While receiving the estimate to cover these damages I was informed that in no way can the electricity to the garage be restored unless the main electrical to my house is completely updated. I have attached two separate estimates. The first includes the damages caused by the city and the second deals with the cost associated to the initial damage. Prior to this incident my electrical was in fine working condition and I had never received any problems in the 1 year plus of living there. I do receive city waste disposal and the waste truck that drives down my street on a weekly basis has never had any problems clearing the wiring that stretches across the street. Although I believe this to be a complete accident I do also believe the city of Dubuque to be responsible. As stated above, in order for me to receive service to my garage during winter months it is necessary for the electrical wiring to be completely updated in order to meet national electrical codes, and be in compliance with local and state codes.
