Omaha, maybe your electrical provider would install another service drop on your property, next to the pond. In my area they provide the first 800' without charge to a proposed house site. Even if they charged you, it may not cost as much as doing it yourself. Seems like I saw a discussion about this in another thread, a few months ago.
JKB, I have just about enough knowledge of electricity to be considered dangerous. So, I have a question. On a long run, such as the 700' in question, would it be OK to install a ground rod for the breaker box, at the end of the run, instead of running a 700' ground wire? If so, is there a downside to doing so? I may eventually run power to my tractor shed, and was just wondering.
