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.

Ran my water line in 2003 and don't remember prices, but I'm sure it was under $1500. I used 2" PVC gasket not glued. That makes installation very fast. Two people can put pipe together as fast as the ditch witch. Just make sure to thrust block the first and last stick of gasketed pipe or it will come apart. Also put some dirt on it before pressuring up or it will come out the ground.

I ran right at 3200' of pipe and get great pressure in Ascension parish. I've had well water and I would pay double for installation cost for city water.
