Slick, I was just wondering when you had your water system redone.?? Do you know how difficult is it to get a permit to get a channel dug in the shallow water so you can bury the first part of your pipe so it doesn't freeze? Or don't you use it in the winter? I know someone who wanted to continue to use lake water but didn't want to deal with getting a permit for a machine to dig in the lake so they got a well. The existing pipe was not buried.

We don't use it in the winter on Welch. Water line is not buried but does stay in the water over winter. Drain valve at shore is used at closeup. New system installed 2 years ago.
