[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 772058, member: 9"] In 2008 we purchased quarter section of pasture in Childress County, TX., 13 miles West of Hollis, OK. Our Collingsworth County, TX., Coop had a powerline about mile or so from our new property. They wanted little over $50,000 to bring in a line. We said "no thanks". Then, we contacted the Harmon County, OK., Coop (Hollis, OK.) to see if they were interested. They said "yes" and brought in a 200 Amp service (think the run was about mile or less) and they only charged us about $4,000. Go figure...pays to shop around. This new line supplied our new 125 gpm well with 7.5 hp pump and other power uses. [On a sidebar, the property already had a shallow well supplied by a solar pump with 75 watt solar collector which was about 1,000 ft from where we needed power...only put out about 1.5 gpm and is still being used for one of our 10' dia. stock tanks. We also investigated a new solar service for the new well and for other uses. Was going to cost over $30,000 plus new expensive batteries every few years.] [/QUOTE]
