You don't kill the tree, you re-route the line. BTDT.

Depends on location of tree, and size of tree. A trees root area is
larger than the drip line outside permiter of branches plus say 25%''

digging too close can kill injur or make the tree unstable in
wind......

plus the line must have enough fall, normally that 1/4 inch per foot

all of these constraints make re routing the line difficult to
impossible in many cases
