re: Running a water line 2500 yards

I would not even consider a pump station in the line. If you prefer "city" water go with whatever size line is cheapest and use a holding tank with a small pump for pressure. Not only is it much simpler to maintain you have the added benefit of a store of water in case of emergencies. Sounds like you are kinda far out, if so, it is bad enough to have your power go off, having to deal with no water well only compounds the problem.


Water wells are neither certian or necessarily cost free going forward. On this I speak from experiance. I live much farther from a source of water so a well is my6 only option.
