Ponds with shallow sides (as Pondboy said) are nearly impossible to maintain. Ponds all need movement and aeration, or they simply atrophy ... & stink.
Yeah, it doesn't appear they're on a healthy, survivable path and harvesting pond growth is expensive. Is that another large expense coming up for the residents?
