Ice Melting, Watching for runoff

Well, the snow is melting rapidly and the pond ice cover is starting to thaw. We noticed today with all the spring thaw, the pond water level is rising slowly over the pond liner. Looks like the ice had bent our outflow pipe too high to catch the overflow quickly enough.

We've got it remedied, and it goes to show to keep a close watch on your pond even when the pump and filter aren't operational.
