We had a dive team on property today to inspect our irrigation wet well and irrigation intake pipe. It has been six years since our last inspection and we wanted to ensure everything underwater was still in good working order.
The dive team went inside the pump house and dove inside the wet well to check for any structural cracks or holes. They also dove into Big Fisher Pond to check on the integrity of the intake pipe. The intake pipe is about 40 feet out into the pond and is the pipe that feeds water into the pump house to supply the irrigation system.
The dive team cleared out 10" of sediment in an 10' radius around the intake pipe that had built up. Removing the sediment will help reduce the weed population around the intake and will allow the irrigation system to run more efficiently.
