Wow, James, that's an incredible amount of water. We had 6 1/2" of rainfall here at our place in Polk County since the weekend, but nothing like you had. My siphon had not run in a while and was slow to start as the water level came up. I PU a 50' coil sewer snake from Lowes and worked it through the system 5-6 times and just got it to flow about 25%. After last nights deluge, I walked down to the pond this morning and could hear the siphon blowing full flow. Thank God, for this. I've never seen the water level this high since we renovated the pond in '14. I guess whatever had it partially plugged blew free from the pressure. Hopefully, the water will drain quicker than it will fall as we have more rain forecasted every day through Sunday. I need to put more ag-lime as well, but as Pat mentioned, I will wait until the rainy season here in SE Texas has run its course.


...when in doubt...set the hook...
