Hi all,

Thanks for all the info.

I did check with the County, and they said it was OK to pull water
from
the creek for irrigation.

However, I really do not want to put the pump in the creek - is there
are particular pump (or pump specification) that I need to look for
to
be able to pull the water out of the creek (instead of pushing it)? I
don't mind using more than 1 pump and could use galvanized pipe.

Thanks,

Just about any decent sized shallow well pump set-up will do. Self
priming would be a good but I don't know if it will work at that
distance. The 15 ft altitude is not a problem as suction type pumps
will pull water to about 25-26 ft (depending on your altitude, it drops
as altitude goes up).

I suggest you let your fingers do the walking through the yellow pages
and look for pump or irragation businesses. A trip to them will with
your requirements will get you what you are looking for. They will
probably fix you up with a real irrigation pump vice well pump.
