Perhaps just run another line and insulate it and deal with the original 
line when it gets warm??

Then offer them an alternative ....  either trench the rock with 
dynamite, or chain trench..     which would your neighbors prefer.....   
;-)

Chain trenching might look a lot more appealing.  :-)

When I was very small I watched my grandfather make a trench from his 
farmhouse to a new butcher building (slaughter house).   The farmhouse 
sits on limestone bedrock and the trench had to be at least 3 feet deep 
and several hundred feet long.

The only practical way to make the trench back then (early 60's) was 
dynamite.

I remember watching the progress from the back porch of the farmhouse.

Wow, was that fun!

I remember asking my Dad if we could get some dynamite..
