Cecil:
Water is about done rising in my pond unless we get more rain. It's at 54 3/4", about 8" below full pool. The water level in my pond is = the neighbors seasonal pond (3' deep and it dries up every Fall). I adjusted the culvert so it wouldn't backflow into his pond, and pumped some of the water out of his pond to mine as his property was starting to flood towards his pole barn. Typically the surface water goes from his property to mine, and then from mine to the next neighbor to the West. At this level, if I didn't pump some to my pond, it starts to flood the woods behind our houses. I think I still have some migrating to my pond thru the ground, as my pond level rose 1 1/2" after pumping for 5 hours yesterday. My pump is rated for 16,000 GPH, and the pond is over an acre in surface area now.
Only 8 inches to full pool! Awesome. I'd almost drive over ther just to see it!
We had about a 20 minute downpour during the night. It was coming down so hard it woke me up! Haven't heard it rain that hard in a long time. I'll have to ask the neighbor what she has in her range guage.
Still rain in the forecast for you. I see full pool yet!
