Since the last update, we put a one foot riser on the standpipe with plugs at 6" so we can raise or lower the pond as desired, or let out a higher volume of water during extreme conditions.

We have been experiencing a rise and fall sequence over the past month. It would go up a couple inches, then fall, then up, then fall.

Well, today it has officially reached full pool and is now flowing out the standpipe. Now to wait and see how far it falls when the weather straightens out.

Thanks for all the words of wisdom.
