A deep dive...

 ... into Big Fisher Pond.  A dive team was out last week to inspect our irrigation wet well and irrigation intake pipe. This was originally scheduled for late November, however weather conditions and unfortunate timing prohibited it from happening. 

The team's inspection was similar to their 2016 visit. They dove inside the wet well (located inside the pumphouse) to check for any structural cracks or holes. They also dove out into the pond to inspect the intake pipe which takes water from the pond into the pumphouse. The intake pipe extends 40' out into the pond. They cleared out about 2' of sediment in a 20' radius around the intake pipe which will allow the irrigation system to operate more efficiently.
