Running a water line 2500 yards

I have a long way to run a water line to where we plan to build. What kinda issues will I run across. Have a trencher and can do it myself but would I need a pump about half way to maintain pressure over that long of a run?

This ought to be good.
Pressure will drop at a distance even in a city which I guess you won't be in.

You can't drill a well?

Same altitude?

Think volume

We drilled a well for that reason. It cost me about $4200 for everything.

That's a half mile under < 40 psi. You will need a booster or tap a well

i know about where your at. call the parish water compnay and talk to the engineer. they are a whole lot better at this than the OB (all respects to any PEs on here). you and any mis feliciana will be a heck of a lot happier.

Feliciana, if you get 10 foot sticks of 2" PVC at $5 a piece (which is pretty close to wholesale) you're looking at a shade under $4,000 for pipe alone, not to mention the 750 or so couplings you'll need, rental costs for the witch...No doubt it'll need at least one pump station unless you boost it to some crazy high PSI but that'll run you another couple of grand right there. Is there any reason you aren't just opting to dig a well? Pay a contractor $2,000 one time and you have "free" water forever after that

2500 yards?
completely out of the question
you'd be better off catching rain water

I think water well is the way to go.

I hope for your sake that the 7,500 foot plastic pipe doesn't spring a leak at one of those 750 unions. good luck finding it.

Yeaaa I'd just dig a well. That's frickin far man.
