Good morning,

I am in charge of landscape and grounds maintenance at my job. We have a retention pond-turned reflection pond in front of our facility and I have been tasked with keeping it clean. We are dealing with a lot of clarity issues because of the combined effect of trees, pollen, ducks, and fish contaminating the water. I was asked to look into the possibility and feasibility of adding a skimmer to the pond. I don't have dimensions handy and all I really know about is this:

It's a mud bottom pond. Dug and filled in 1996. Has a fountain and two waterfalls for aeration. As far as I know, no maintenance plan (outside of "dye it blue") was ever established.

Forgive me for any errors in terminology. My background is in maintenance and automotive technology, not ponds.

Thanks for any direction y'all can pass on!

Doug
