This may be a dumb question, but why don't folks use a hydrant style connection from the house to where the water line goes into the ground and then bury the waterline 4-feet down (minimum) to the lake? If this was done, all you have to do is shut the tap off when you leave and it takes care of itself. We have a camp we just acquired last fall and the waterline is right at the ground surface with no effort to bury it. I don't really understand this. It cuts your season down by at least two months worrying about the waterline freezing up.

Thanks
