If I cut through the bank at the level that the line is, I will be in about 7-8 feet of water. I don't know of any way to cut through the bank with the lines and maintain the integrity of the bank while doing so. Maybe there is a technique for it but I can picture a damn breaking or a leak forming by running it through. Wouldn't that give the water a nice straight path to leak? They cut a "key" around the perimeter when they made the pond to eliminate any direct path for the water.
