If the heat tape has a built in thermostat. The thermostat contacts fail open in the middle of the 2nd winter they are in service.
Get heat trace that has no thermostate but varies it's output with the surounding temperature.
A pressurized system without automatic control and over pressure relief is trouble looking for a place to happen.
I solved a local mystery where the hydro bill was suddenly very high for months. The local handy man and electrician couldn't locate. The pressure control contacts had welded shut on the out of sight/unheard deep well pump. Fortunately it as a high volume/low pressure unit for shallow wells. She maxed out at only 75 or so psi.
If the pump had been a multistage deep well unit in that 60ft well. She would have at the very least opened the relief valve on the hot water heater. Or split pipes.
Trench in a pipe from the house with a plough. When at it may as well run a 2md trench for a phone line etc.
