The grand finale of the work on the golf course is the annual wet-well maintenance. The wet-well is a large cistern located inside the pumphouse beside the 17th tee. We close the valve on the 12 inch pipe that connects the well to the lake and then pump out the well with our big 3 inch pump. We need to pump out 10 feet of water before we can go down and check the pump intakes. In the picture you can see the three submersible pumps and the green hose that is removing the water from the well.
This duck didn't seem to be bothered by all the commotion and noise.
