| How deep? You likely need to be well below frost depth. How close to foundations? You can do just about anything by hand with a shovel if you have enough manpower. Even smaller power equipment can make the job go a lot faster and cost less. |

| You might need a backhoe, or you might need a trencher. Or you might get by hiring a dozen strong backs with shovels. You haven't provided enough information to be able to tell. Location? Depth? Diameter? |

| How big of an area are you draining and how big is your pit? 1/10 of an inch of rain will produce 2,840gal of water per acre. |
