OK, I was under the impression that it would be impossible to make repairs while it is this wet but yall are saying get someone with a track hoe out here ASAP? If so I will start calling around to find someone. A permanent siphon system...can someone point me to some reference material/reading on how to construct a good siphon system and I'll start rounding up parts. Wow, really thought I'd have to wait until august or something to get things done.
