Looks like a man-made attractive nuisance that needs a fence.

Wait till some little kid wanders in there and drowns.
The bereaved family's lawyers will make the EPA look like a bunch of boy
scouts.

I suspect they'll be hearing from their insurance company soon. Idiots!

Right, every water source should be fenced. Ponds, creeks, rivers, even the ocean.


Yah, I've never really understood why a *man-made* swimming pool must be fenced but a *natural* pond does not.


A natural pond usually has a smooth transition from shallow to deep, not so with a man made swimming pool. A child can usually crawl out of a natural pond. ^_^

That is personal experience as an EMT in a rural area and don't EVEN get
me started on things like retention ponds that don't need fences in most
areas.
