Power to well at pond.

The ground must be connected to the origin point. I am done talking about this. I have never installed a sub panel without a ground in the conduit and I have installed close to 100 of them in my time (I was an electrician/foreman for several years). It is not worth the risk to someone's life to leave it out. The wire is not that expensive and makes for a better, safer installation.

That's okay, we can agree to disagree. My son is a lead journeyman and is 500 hours and his test to getting his masters license.

Wouldn't be any different that running service to a house or garage would it. My house has to hot & 1 neutral & a ground rod at the house. My storage building the same.

Got the wire run from garage to pond 2 hrs. to trench & 2 1/2 to put wire in the hole & back fill.

Little harder digging than Florida sand.

Good thing you dug before the hard freeze and then you would've had to wait until spring thaw.

There was about 4 inches of frost, once through that it went OK.
