Tree Falls After Water Board Delay | New Orleans News

A New Orleans family’s backyard turned into a disaster zone after a massive tree crashed into their yard — a direct result of the Sewerage and Water Board’s botched water main repair. What began as a leak that swelled into a “river” of water, worsened by the board’s failure to act, ultimately weakened the tree and triggered its collapse. The board claims safety concerns delayed repairs, but the family says they were abandoned for days while water eroded the ground. Now, crews are scrambling to fix the mess — and the family is furious, demanding accountability for property damage they say could’ve been prevented with basic diligence.
