Probably jinxed myself "declaring it full" I went by yesterday. 2" drop in 5 days.
That's a lot faster drop rate than I'd been seeing. (<1" week)
Didn't have time to look for where it may be seeping out. It's the first time at that level, so I expected it'd be soaking in etc..
I guess the extra pressure of the last 3' of water, or the leak is in the last 3' of pond bank that just was submerged. The suspicious areas on the bank were on a pretty steep upslope. I'll just keep following it.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
