Here in the east, your well pipes could freeze if not buried deep

Is it cooler, farther down?


Should be. I understand you reach a level where temperature is
constant, summer and winter. With geothermal you can use it to heat or
cool your house as needed.

As you know, in areas where it freezes building codes will give minimum
depths for water and sewer pipes. Here is is three feet and Tony says
where he is in Canada it is 8 feet. In Vegas couple of inches is OK.
My brother-in-law lives out there and I have never heard about water
being too hot so I assume his developer knew what he was doing to bury
pipes deep enough.
