I have willow trees in my back yard. My home is 5 years old and the closest tree from my house is about 25 feet. Question. Can I simply cut a large root nearing the home, which will make the cut about 20 feet from the tree. Will I kill the tree by doing that?

We have a neighbor next door that has planted 4 to 5 Globe Willow trees in her backyard which is not a large back yard, and also at least 3 more in her front yard, most of them on the east side which is next to our home. Several years ago, the city installed a very large underground sewer pipe which went between our side yards, under the street and between the yards across the street to their alley. She waters these trees constantly but since watering is allowed by our city ordinance, if you use a hand held hose, she is not out of compliance with the city. She uses one of the curly hoses that she curls around the trunk of the trees and leaves the water running even when she is gone from home. We have complained to the City on several occasions with no results.
