re: Running a water line 2500 yards

I ran 3200 feet of 1 1/2 inch PVC to my current house. Once I got to the house the plumber tied in using regular pex 3/4 inch pipe. My house is elevated 14 feet off the ground and then I have a second story above that. The highest point to a faucet is probably 30 feet off the ground. Since having a well is not an option unless I want salt water, I ran the line. M
Anyway no booster pump just good volume and I have no issues with water pressure unless I'm running multiple showers at the same time. I ran the pipe in a weekend with a buddy and a rented trencher but I must say that digging the trench was a bitch actually running the pipe was easy in comparison. For roughly double that distance I would definitely have a good deep well drilled if it's a viable option.

I have a trencher so I would save cost in renting one. There isn't any steep elevation changes. If it's 30' difference it's stretched over the whole length of the line.
