Okay..I have shut water off since Oct 10..pond leaked a lot a first and has evenually slowed..Gone from 6 feet to 1.5 ft now..the last 3 weeks I have been pumping water out off and on....from what I can gather from my own research and talking to professionals is that I should have had the soil compacted better...I still have been unable to find someone who even for a fee will give me expert advice..My current plan is to redo the pond with compacting and 4 lbs/sq foot of bentonite ...if anybody knows a professional in the San Antonio area, please let me know..before I spend 8,000 dollars on bentonite and dozer work I would like to know where I stand...thanks...
