Tree Falls After Water Main Break | New Orleans News

New Orleans’ Sewerage and Water Board is stepping in big time after a water main break triggered a tree collapse — and they’re covering the cleanup. A 12-inch pipe ruptured on Killdeer Street, tangled with roots, forcing a full shutdown before crews could fix it. Then, a tree crashed into a homeowner’s yard — adding chaos to the repair. SWBNO’s claims team is handling the bill for tree removal and property repairs, directly working with the family who asked for accountability. The leak was capped by Tuesday evening, water restored, and a new pipe goes in September 3rd — with full restoration expected next week if weather permits.
