8:45AM- Apparently yesterday's solution to the silt-laden water problem didn't work as planned so today they dug a hole near the pumping area, added gravel to the bottom of the hole, then added the pump's intake hose (wrapped in the filter cloth), then added more gravel on top of that. The excavator then dug away one side of the embankment surrounding the hole so that sufficient water could enter to then be pumped out relatively silt-free. I guess they are expecting the gravel to filter the silt. I wonder how long it will take for the silt to clog the gravel pit?
4:30PM- Pump is "off". No other activity. I can't tell if the latest "solution" worked or not.
