I"m not following, how does that solve your leak concern around the pipe? The water is eroding all the dirt around your pipe too or it is just going through the pipe and the dirt around it is solid yet?
My comment was a bit sarcastic. I have water going out the pipe. The pond is full. I’m still planning on a repair, but not until the water drops down below where the pipe comes out of the dam. As long as it keeps raining like this, I will have a very full pond. I don’t think I’m getting any erosion. It’s seeping out, I don’t think it’s moving fast enough to carry any soil away.
