In my area (East Texas) regular sec. 40 pvc is cheaper than EMT. 3/4" pvc is $.11 cents per ft. If you have to cross a creek why not get water from the creek, It would be closer? But then you would need a pump. Unless it could be siphoned to your garden. Bill in Texas

Subject: [Market-farming] Long above ground water line advice

 I am in a money pinch and need to run water to a garden that is about 900' and below my well. The least expensive way to do so that I have discovered is to use 3/4" grey EMT with bell ends above ground.  It is stamped as "PVC" the same as the white pipe.   I will have to cross the rock shrewn drive twice, a horse pasture, and a spring fed creek.

 Can anyone give me some feed back on the pros and cons on going this route?


Thanks for your input! :-)
