No conduit needed per code. Due to northern climates, we are well below the frost line

We are still getting water through the line, but when the valve is turned off at the barn the pressure falls when it should remain. I’m starting to think the ground shifted and put pressure on a splice

Lol! Not Canada but not too far from there. Like I said previously, the water line is 6 feet down and below our electrical line. You think that leaked air would still make it to the surface and past the frost line?

It was new install, and it’s laid underneath the electrical in the same trench. Water is 6 feet and electrical is 4

Nah…they have pretty good rental equipment in my area. The only issue we ran into was the trench caving in slightly. That may or may not have played a factor. But I didn’t a house 2 years ago with the same method and it worked well.
