Is there any special connection/design I have to consider and be aware of? or it's just as simple as trench and bury the pipe along the road like typical sprinkler pipe installations??? any advice is greatly appreciated.

I think 18" deep for the pipe is National Plumbing Code... Power is that way too. Check with a local plumbing house to be sure?

That is the minimum, but deeper may be required for frost line etc.

Before glueing , always, always use pvc cleaner solvent for a good bond. I would recomend burying it and using premium backfill ( sand) I have seen rocks cut pvc pipe if a truck or anything heavy drives over it. Check for leaks before burying it ( murphy's law) . You may want to "tee" a few sections for future tap in if needed.
