Hey ya'll. Just got great news. Had 2 wells dug on property...one for pond at 80 feet producing 25 gpm and another for house at 50 feet for 12 gpm. Now I am going to get the pond built and tested for leaks before we move ahead with the house building. My question is....this lake will have an average depth 0f 6 feet- 2 being shallowest and 11 feet in front of levee. How much of it do I have to fill before I can tell it is not going to have any major leaks and continue building the actual house. The house depends on the pond for geothermal and views so it just wont work without a good non-leaky pond. I was hoping to give it 2 months after it is built for a couple rains to test it some before going ahead with house building. But the big issue is that I wont have any power to the wells for a while and must depend on rainfall.
