Pond drain pipe uncoupled - 01/03/21 05:59 AM
We have a 60 year old multifamily 12-13 acre East Texas pond. It is a weekend place, so unobserved bad things can happen. For example, in the recent rains the primary drain system has come uncoupled which will draw the lake down to low but I hope not dangerous levels. I would like to convert to a siphon system, I think. The current system crosses through the dam at a level lower than would make a practical lake level. I am lazy and old, so I would like to do it as simply and easily and cheaply as possible ( I know the joke - cheap, quick, good - pick two). Does anyone have practical ideas about how to fix the drainage without digging into the dam too much?
