Ok, for an update, we turned the water on today at 11 am. I am pumping about 4000 gallons/ hr, and as of dark the pond had begun noticeably climbing. I couldn't wait to get done with work to see it!! I may have not been quite as chatty with the last few patients, but I did have good cause! On a side note I now have a great excuse for running out to the farm every night now; I just tell my wife I need to make sure there are no problems with the pump.
