I recently bought a property with a .77 acre pond that appears to have been dry since 2014 according to google earth.The house was constructed during the mid 70's so I'm assuming the pond is the same era. I've attached as many photos as possible to help paint the picture.
The good news is I'm surrounded by other ponds that can hold water and a small but natural stream runs through the pond.
Problems:
-over grown with vegetation. -broken pipe causing water to flow straight through the damn into my neighbors pond.
Questions:
Where should I start?
How do I kill off the extreme amount of vegetation that is safe for a pond?
What type of concrete should I used to fill the old damaged pipe?
(I'm sure I can search this one) What type of syphon system would you recommend to replace the old galvanized pipe?
Also any other observations or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
