Yes but nothing that precludes a pond so I am OK there.

Because you have neighbors and it could easily happen, I'd avoid the dam if possible and dig out the dirt. Hire an excavator to dig it out and some dump trucks to haul it away. Lots of money to do this, but in the end, it should be allot cheaper. With a dug out pond, there is no dam to fail, ever, and the water that flows through your land will continue to do so. Your just holding some of it.

Hadn't thought of it that way but that is exactly what I need to do.


Before you do anything, know were your septic is, your utilities, and if any utilities cross your land. Call 1-800-dig-tess. I was in a subdivision last week were there was a fiber optic line running along the back fence. It was marked, but if it hadn't have been, I might easily have put a fence post right through it.

I'm ok there. Not near anything. Thanks
