Storm water drain

[Kyle D.]

My rental property has a large storm water drain and pipe going through my property from the road to the back yard. We had lots of heavy rain and flooding and the tenant called me and said there's sinkholes in the yard. It turns out the storm water drain is leaking and eroding away the dirt. I called the county and they won't be able to get out here for awhile because they are backed up. There is a drainage easment in my property. Who will be responsible for the repair and will the county make the repair? There also is a large tree uprooting the storm drain and is in the easment. Can the county cut down that tree to prevent it from ruining the storm drain further? I was gonna cut down the tree anyway but I thought since it was in the easment it was there tree?
