Hi,

I am having problems in trying to remove a concrete pond that was built
by the previous owners.

I have drained the pond using a water pump and drilled a number of holes
at the bottom of the pond using a jack hammer. I thought this would have
meant any remaining water would quickly drain away, instead the
remaining water is still there. In some instances I have drilled at
least 7 to 8 inches below the concrete and the water just ends up
filling the hole I created.

Is this expected? I have little knowledge of landscaping so was hoping
for some advice.

The water table might drop later in the year. But why not just jack
hammer the concrete and take it away, and fill in the hole?
