The city did not shut the job down due to the pond it was due to the filtration. They had never seen a filter pit that was 28 foot long by 5 foot wide and 8 foot deep. Picture number 4,7,8, are the biological filters.

I know people who've never seen a POND as big as that filter pit
That is one fine looking setup. REALLY nice design and workmanship.

Put a pond just like that on my wishlist and showed my wife yesterday and she just about had a cow! Maybe I can have a pond like that in my next life. Very impressive!!!!! Now I either have to win the lottery or rob a bank.............
