Mike, it is fairly standard procedure to bury all water lines 8 feet down 
here and we rarely have trouble with those lines freezing. The frost free 
hydrant has a drain at the bottom that automatically drains all the water 
from the vertical pipe when ever it is shut off thus preventing any ice 
forming in the upper levels.
