Now this is just my simple mined self taking here but couldn't you just put a 90 degree elbow on that pipe and go up 15 feet with pipe and then put another elbow on it and take it back over your dam and into the water? Make it into a recycler if you will. I know that's not a fix but wouldn't the pipe fill up eventually and flow back out into the pond? Or is that a real stupid idea?

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
