Bob,
Hoping your leak slows down. Hoping the rain keeps coming.
I ended up finding 3 5/8” in my rain gauge today. Pond came up 3’! So, the rain must have had a very high percent runoff. I don’t usually get that much bump from 3” of rain.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
