Yeah, I've heard THAT kind of a blanket dismissal before. ;-P Pull
the other leg, I don't want to walk lopsided...

Considering where you live, you can be pardoned for not understanding ... but
how did you think those of us who *do* live in freeze zones manage to keep our
lines from freezing? Did you seriously think that municipal water utilities in
the north insulate their distribution lines, and run hot water recirculators?

Bury it deep enough, and it *will* *not* freeze. It really *is* that simple.

I grew up in Minnesota, and even there the code only calls for 42 inches.

But it _does_ need to be below the frost line.

Hope This Helps!
