[QUOTE="snichols264, post: 767655, member: 13059"] Has anyone ever put a pipe in an existing pond without draining the water first? At one time there was a man in my area that would install cattle waterers in existing ponds, but he is no longer here. The best thing I can come up with is digging halfway across the dam beginning on the water side (3 feet below the water level) and bury the pipe with one end extending out into the pond and the other end stopping at the center of the dam. After filling and packing that portion, I would did on the oppisite side of the dam and join to the previously buried pipe end and go to the waterer. However, I am concerned that repacking the pond side of the trench will not be possible due to the water keeping the clay too "soupy". Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
