Bill D, the pond has a separate well pump dedicated to it out of the main well, not an entirely separate well, sorry if I was a little unclear with that. We have an adequate aquifer that allows the water to be pumped into the pond without issue at our main house, The pump feeding the house is down 95' the pond pump is down 105'.

As far as a water table pond, I'm assuming the drain/fill test mnfish recommended will inform me of what I have. I'm not sure what to hope for, in some respects it would be nice to have the pond fill naturally, but on the other hand, I would like to be able to keep at a higher fill point.

We shall see shortly what I have as I am letting it drain and then trash pumping it out when it stops draining naturally.
