Bucket wheel excavators are used extensively around europe to remove overburden and extract lignite for power stations. The largest offer 240,000 tonnes per day production. But just how efficient are they over a year. What are the realistic yearly production rates. I am curious as this is a lot for one machine to actually handle. Is there any where I can check?

I need to run a residential water line from the meter at the street, about fifteen feet underground, then up to a height of about three feet above ground, where there needs to be a high-quality brass valve to accept a garden hose. Not sure if I need a pressure reduction valve also, but I will assume yes. This will be a watering station for a landscaping / garden area. Any rough idea about what a job like this might cost to have done?
