    The most important would be operating gates at either end of the property. Next (and also important) will be lighting, certainly led. Probably just minimal landscape lighting for safety and looks. After that, having power could be handy for running tools, and that's wide open. So yes the...

    thanks for the confirmation! I'll keep your points in mind for pressure readings and filter. The electrical is a different question, when I've looked at the voltage drop for a simple 15A line the wire size is huge, so I've started looking at whether I can use transformers to go from...
