Drilling a well is an option but i don't think I could easily get the pipe run back to the house below the frost line. I think it would also be a challenge to get the drilling equipment over the railroad tracks (would require a crane). Lots of rocks, a big berm and not a lot of land between the house and the railroad track. The house is also doesn't have a basement. That's why the self-draining approach looks appealing. With the circulator running for the dock, ice wouldn't be an issue if I place it properly.
Thanks all for the replies.
