New homeowner has 3-ft weeping willow in center of 170x80 ft lot, 75 ft from house. Sewer lines 100+ ft away. Neighbor's drain 100 ft away. Standing water in heavy rains. Conflicting advice on urban suitability.
Willows seek water and can clog septic lines, but recommended safe distance is 30-40 feet. At 75-100+ feet from all infrastructure, this tree poses no risk.
The natural drainage pattern actually suits the willow's high water needs. Tree is well-sited — enjoy it.
