Ponds built in Georgia from the ’40’s through most of the’80’s were constructed with conventional drain systems made of corrugated steel. They consisted of a barrel pipe, stand pipe, and drain pipe. A pipe was embedded during construction at the bottom of the pond with a standpipe protruding upward to the desired level of the water. These systems worked great however many of those systems have reached the end of their life span and may pond owners are forced to replace the deteriorating older systems.
