Sorry to see this. I have plans to try a repair on the overflow pipe on my dam, but the good news is we’ve had enough rain, my pond is staying full. My brother in law has a place in eastern KS with a leaky pond. He brought in a number of dump trucks of bentonite, and he’s still got the leak. So frustrating. Hopefully you’ll get it solved.


12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
