WASHINGTON—A U.S. judge has ordered Enbridge Inc. to pay an indigenous band in Wisconsin US$5.1 million and to remove the Line 5 pipeline from its property within three years.

The decision late Friday by district court Judge William Conley stops short of immediately shutting down the controversial cross-border oil and gas line.
