Perma-frost???? In Wisconsin???? Or, are you referring to the frost line/frost depth? Prema-frost is an underground ice lens. Believe me, if you have perma-forst in your area, you do not want to dig to that depth. The ice will melt, and the ground surrounding it will collapse. For frost line/frost depth in your area, call the Plumbing Plans Examiner or Inspector in your county or city. They can tell you the proper depth to bury your domestic water service pipe.
