I have been monitoring the pond leaking water past the overflow culvert. A week ago Friday, I noticed water bubbling in the middle of my driveway. I immediately drained the pond down and starting digging around the overflow culvert's end concrete. I put concrete around it when I realized the culvert was too low, and I didn't want to raise the culvert. I spliced in, an end plug on the culvert and cut out the top. I sealed all the splice seams with concrete. Then I built a form and poured concrete. This has worked for 8 years.
But while I am working enlarging the island pond, the ducks have made the small pond their nightly home. They have dabbled all around the dam and the concrete.
So, last Saturday, I dug the dam out around the culvert behind the existing concrete and install forms for concrete. Nothing is square as I was in a hurry to get the concrete poured before dark. Besides, it will all be covered with dirt.
