Have a call into a well guy to run some numbers for me. What I need. Public power wasn't an option here. Running PVC or wire, I'd prefer to have power at the pond for future usage.
Pulling power is the way to go for long term goals.
Been snooping around Nebraska and it looks like they have adopted NEC2011 (National Electric Code that came out in 2010) Seems to be recent tho. Douglas county's website still states NEC2008, but certain links go to Lincoln.
There is a 21 page doc on electric code which outlines, defines and makes a few exceptions, but is quite strict!
I would consult with a local electrical contractor and get the scoop on this from them.
NEC2014 is hitting the street's in a few weeks, and from what I "have heard", it has some humdinger's that will drain pretty much everyone's wallet! A few States will adopt this pretty quickly, but most will be a number of year's out.
It is for safety tho, and would like to give the Firefighters, Ambulance Crew, ER and Peace Officers a break!
People die every day from red necking or DIY electrical installations. Don't have to happen tho!
