Default Question about an unusual pond set up

I have virtually the same thing. Mine is an old mortar and stone
18,000 gallon (17'x 47'x 2-4') swimming pool that is spring fed. We
filled in the deep end so that it is 4' at the deepest. The pond fills
in about 24 hours from the springs. The overflow goes into the storm
drain which goes into a creek.
For a view of our lily pond visit:

Neat. Is that the level you always keep it at, or is it low? Did you ever
use it as a swimming pool at one time? ~ jan
