who knows why they abandoned it, just fact is that they did. Maybe the company went out of biz. In the process, though, they hit 2 springs, the 2 deep wells on the property, and it filled up the old quarry (not entirely, from what i understand, a lot of the houses are built within the old quarry too, so just the deepest part).
If you are hatching talapia, i'd imagine you are much farther south...if you get the chance, head up to the chain of lakes NW of illinois. simply beautiful, and great fishing there too (if you're into that sort of thing).
Thanks for your help, i'll check back in periodically with my progress. if i catch Onezey this weekend, i'll post a pic so it's not just a bad fish story.
