Part of what’s going on here is that the county isn’t actually responsible for the storm drains in this neighborhood. Apparently this particular storm drain is owned by, and is the responsibility of, the neighborhood itself. So I suspect the original problem, which was a leak, wasn’t getting fixed because of a lot of finger pointing and buck passing. Even now, the county is making the woman make the arrangements to make the required repairs, which is stupid. She’s clearly not capable of doing that correctly, or they wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with. Have the county fix it and send her the bill, and transfer ownership of that storm drain system to the county, where it belongs. Infrastructure shouldn’t be privately owned.
