Three feet might be pushin' it for one of those walk-behind trenchers. I would think the next step up that WILL get you three feet should be pretty reasonable.

Rent the trencher on a Friday PM. Most places will let you have an item during the entire weekend for one day's rental provided it is returmed the following Monday AM.

IF your jurisdiction mandates a potable water line be installed by a licensed plumber, I certainly would think that you could provide the ditch without gettin' anyone's knickers in a knot. With respect to the ditch, a plumbing inspector is going to check depth-of-bury and proper bedding of the line with fill sand or grits.

On the other hand, sometimes it's just better to turn the whole shebang over to a professional. You leave for work in the morning and when you get home, it's done. There's something to be said for that. Noodle out what it's gonna cost you for rental, gas, trencher transportation port-to-port, pipe + fittings etc. and weigh this against what a plumber would charge for a turnkey job.
