4 ft. is standard but if your under a driveway the frost will compress as you drive over it and the depth should be 8 ft

YOU COULD HAVE THEM 4 FT DEEP AND IT MIGHT NOT BE DEEP ENOUGH IF YOU WERE IN A COLD LOCATION. I HAVE SEEN THE WATERLINE FREEZE THAT DEEP ONCE AND THEN NEVER AGAIN IN 25 YEARS. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT LOCATION AND WHAT YEAR AND IF YOU RUN SOME WATER OR LEAVE THE WATER STAY IN THE PIPE FOR A LONG TIME. I WOULD BE CERTAIN TO ASK AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO MAKE CERTAIN.

In Ontario, at least 4 feet deep.

I agree with Cotton. 12-18 inches will generally do unless you live in an EXTREMELY cold climate. I live in VA and mine are about 16 inches. Never had a problem. Good Luck

Depend on where you live and how deep the freeze line is in your area.
To play it safe, 12 - 18 inches will usually do it.

It depends on your location. To be sure, check with a plumber or the building inspectors in your city and you will get the correct information.
