Just to be techincal, here in southern Minnesota code is 5' deep, and they prefer 6' especially in compacted (under a driveway where snow is removed) areas. Frostline is 3' deep most every year, frequently goes 4'. This year we had little snow & dry ground & it got -28F a couple nights in a row, that pushed the 5' limit quite hard, a lot of waterlines got dug up this spring. I'm forunate to have livestock so the water runs quite a bit, helps to keep things moving.
