[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 233325, member: 9"] First thing I'd do is clean out the area and make sure no leaves, trash, other debris inside the concrete "well". With 100' elevation to the pasture you should get about 43 PSI at the pasture level: Water pressure is .43 psi for every one foot of elevation. Could siphon or use small pump to pump water out of the "well" and into pipe leading down to pasture. Put storage tank at pasture leve. Use pump down there to pump water out of tank and get pressure you need for watering. In freezing weather, merely disconnect water source at top of hill and gravity will drain the water line going down there. Water tank shouldn't freeze unless you have extended real cold weather at your location. Of course, in freezing weather, any pump must be drained so it doesn't freeze and ruin it. [/QUOTE]
