Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum and need some advice on my problem and possible solution. I recently purchased a piece of property that has a 4 to 5 acre pond that is spring fed and is full year round. From what I learned, the dam was repaired and a concrete overflow was installed about 15 years ago. A 12" siphon system was also installed to control the level of the pond. The siphon system has not work since I purchased the pond and with all of the rain during the first of this year I came close to loosing to pond dam. I have used a go pro camera to investigate what is wrong with the inlet portion of the system and it appears that the pipe is buried.

My thought is to use 4" corrugated pipe as a vacuum system to suck the mud and soil from around the siphon system pipe. The pipe is about 7 to 8 feet under water.

What are your thoughts or suggestions on fixing my problem?

Thanks in advance,

Dean
