My pond is in south Mississippi near ML10 and the costs were similar to what he stated as far as drilling the well and electricity cost. Mine gets about 20 gph, runs on 110V but I have learned to estimate the amount of leakage and evaporation. I am usually out there only on the weekends so I installed a timer to allow the pump to run for a certain number of hours per day based on what I think it needs. See the pictures attached for my set up. So far, it's been about a year and I have not had any problems.
