I have a customer, who has a pond she wants to water her animals out of. wants to run water lines underground, and have a pump in the pond to pump water up. My question is, what kind of pump does she need, and how do you run the line into the pond? She wants a shed to house the pump within 30' of pond bank. Any experiance/knowlege appreciated!!!!! !!!

I've seen a submersable pump on a float made from three blue barrels ,hang it in the middle of the barrels put it in the deepest part of the pond,pipe it to shore along with electric line and than run it any where or way you want to from there. HTH Jim in N M

if you can go electric, I'd just go with a submersible well pump and heave into the end. "Well house" wouldn't be necessary unless that's where you wanted to keep a pressure tank...

first, what are the power options on the pump? gasoline? electric? Pushing the water a long distance? short distance? Is it close to the house? May want to put in a dry fire hydrant the fire dept. can use as long as your digging. Could cut insurance rates as well as safety.

Out here, a fire departments will install a hydrant at N/C if your pond is reasonably close to a road..."Dry hydrant", i think it's called? They use it to pull water into the tank trucks in the event of fire in areas without city water rather than go back to an area w/ city water.
Real firemen on this site could probably shed more light...

Im asst. Chief for our fire dept and anytime local folks are digging in water or running pipeline we are more than happy to pay for or help with whatever it takes for us to fill trucks. water is really hard to find around here!

Heard about a situation in a remote area, with no hydrants- neighbor of the fire victim had a big swimming pool, with a very ornate masonry and cedar fence, nicely landscaped on both sides. Fire guy knocked on his door, said we need water from your pool, is there any way to get to it with our truck? Rich pool guy said, "Certainly- you've got a sturdy back bumper on your truck- just back up across my lawn and back through the fence, take all the water you want. Get a good run at it so you knock most of the stuff out of the way. Desperate times call for desparate measures- me and the neighbor will worry about the fence damage later." He can be my neighbor anytime.
