I have an offer of a trencher and a poly pipe welding machine to permanently splice my pipe and bury it the 480 feet from near our creek to the pond. The total fall is about 18 feet. I will have to bring the pipe up out of the ground near the creek to make the connection to the pump. How could I make the part where the riser would be to drain to prevent freezing in the winter?

Tee at the bottom with drain valve. Pipe down to the valve like water meeter hole to access drain valve. A yard of coarse rock around it like a freeze proof hydrant to drain the water off.
Or tee in a freeze proof hydrant somehow and use its drain feature to drain in the winter.
Just ideas.
