Pond leak

 
We are repairing a small water leak on the #2 pond.  A hole formed that is allowing water to get behind the liner.  Pond bank maintenance is a challenge.  For example, Muskrats are responsible for much of the erosion on the pond banks on Swan Lake.  It is amazing how much damage those guys can do just by tunneling in the banks.
 
This particular hole was a weak point that was created when the irrigation line running under the dam blew out last year.  Fortunately, this is an easy fix.  Thank the good Lord for hydraulic cement!
