Thank you all for your valuable insight. I joined the forum today so I'm going through previous threads now. I apologize if this has been asked and answered umpteen times.

My wife and I and six other couples just built houses in a new development three years ago. We're on a 15 acre "lake" in western WI (Pond Boss Forum seemed more appropriate for my questions than a "lake" forum). The lake is a seepage lake with no inflow or outflow. Lake levels are down about three feet from when we moved in three years ago. Max depth was 16' three years ago. We had a lot of snow in the winter of '22-'23 and a lot of rain so far this year and it seems like the water level goes down a little every week.

I'm talking to my fellow HOA officers about what we can do. Have any of you tried to drill a well deep enough to pump water into your ponds? Is it possible to make a difference doing that in a 15 acre lake? Someone had told me that we need to find the springs that feed the lake and "clean them out" so water will come in as fast as it's going out. He also told me to replace my car tires' winter air with summer air, so he may be full of crap.

Thanks for any insight you can provide
