Wow 55 degree for a 300 ft vertical bore hole.

How deep of a ditch would a closed loop horizontal system need to be to chill the water to 55 degrees Fahrenheit? 10? 15?

Location: Palm Springs, ca

Climate: Desert, 120+ degrees in the summer.

Tap water: comes out at 71 degrees. From the water tower to the street water is delivered 4' to 6' underground. The last 100' on my property is only about 1' underground. I would be interesting in cooling the water down to 55 degrees.

"180 ft per ton, and they lope along"

(52-54 deg Earth loops vertical bores/ 300 ft'rs

And today we still see in 2008 that it was 205 to 210 ft in a static-wet borehole (waters within 30-40ft of surface)
