2019Accordingly, we disagree with the plaintiffs' argument that Silberstein v. 54 Hillcrest Park Associates, LLC , supra, 135 Conn. App. at 272 , 41 A.3d 1147 , is not controlling because, unlike in Silberstein , the defendants' duty in the present case was imposed by statute. *42 We next address the plaintiffs' argument that, in contrast to the design of storm water drainage systems, the duty to repair and maintain such systems is ministerial. **178 In support of this claim, the plaintiffs rely on several cases from other jurisdictions.
