On a similar note, our gas company ran a line under my patio with a machine they had on a truck. It is an oil hydraulic thing, they dug a hole and lowered this torpedo shaped device with a line on it and turned it on. There is a piston inside the torpedo which slams into the nose of the thing and drives it along.
The utility companies use similar technology for running lines under roads and driveways. You might call and see if someone will drive a hole from your well to the hillside. You could then run pipe through it. Inch and a half pipe will carry a lot of rain water. ----- Original Message ----- From: Geoff Eden To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 9:37 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Hydrology Dan, if you have the room, you can hook a garden hose to the end of a length of pipe and shove it through the ground to make a tunnel. You would need couplings and lots of spare Pike, but you might not have to dig a trench. The exit point might be a precarious matter, and cleanup might be horrific, but you'd have undisturbed backyards.
