So I have 5 acres on a hill out by Pryor. My pond supposedly never goes dry but 95% near did this year during the heat. (Bought at the end of spring) Area's of the land during heavy rains certainly get swampy and leading to the pond and in places can see where some water channels are vaguely there.
Near 2 weeks ago, moving I noticed along my fence line there was soggy mud and visible water in places. It's now widened to be about a 10 foot wide or so swath that goes all the way to my pond, basically 1/4 inch of standing water picking up pace closer to the pond into a outright shallow stream.
The one neighbors I've never talked to are kinda trashy, always working on cars, and via the other neighbors, one of them usually in jail at any given time. The water seems to near the front of the property near the road start coming in from them. Hard to see since it's all over grown but I can see water in their yard definately flowing my way. (And oil on the surface nearest where it comes into my yard. Walking the road, the water doesn't appear in the shallow ditch, so unless it's running from deep under the road, I think it originates in their yard.
Not sure if this could be some natural stream that occasionally surfaces, otherwise I'd assume water main leak. I'm on rural water and they said they can only really come look at the area of these folks meter, and never reported back to me.
So my question is, who do I even begin to call to try and figure it out? It's pretty sweet that my pond is full to overflowing and the stream is nice near it, but it's starting to just get wider and going to hinder my ability to mow, or I'd actually think drown some tree's.
