Dave, this is a fairly steeped bank ravine that pushes a lot of water in the spring. Pond builder feels like we need the 2 pipes as insurance. We also will of course have an emergency spillway. This is the same contractor that built our 2 acre pond. This site has much better clay but no charged springs right now. Zep, I am a Dallas resident with weekend property in MINEOLA.
