I'm beginning to think it is the fountain's fault. Footings for the fountain penetrated the bottom of the pond.

I actually agree with the comment in the story .... why are they just "slowing" the leak?

It would be inconceivable for there to be more than one leak.

Hoping it works, but remember this just another attempt to fix the leak. As was the last effort.

Lining installed to halt Goodale Park pond leak
By Pamela Engel
The Columbus Dispatch Friday June 15, 2012 7:24 AM

“It appears that should solve the problem with any possibility of the base of the fountain leaking,” said David Dumm, president of Procon Professional Construction Services, which installed the lining.
