This summer we installed two 3100 Mira Fount waterers for our cattle. These are very similar to what are in the link in one of the earlier replies to this post. The lines are buried 7 feet deep, and they come to the surface in about a 12" diameter insulated, corrugated, black plastic pipe. This helps transfer ground heat to the waterer. Then we have heat tapes tied to the pipe near the valve and submersible heaters to go in the float chamber. The wiring is run off a GFCI circuit breaker. This is working really well for us this year; it is -22 F here on the SD/MN border and there is no ice to fight today on these waterers. However, our spring-fed 8' tire tank waterer had three inches of ice on the surface, is freezing in badly all around, and may get pretty stiff before it warms up in a few days.
