We should know by the end of June whether the latest attempt to plug the leak at the Goodale Park pond will work.

The Friends of Goodale Park hired a Circleville company to place concrete and a rubber "skirt" around the base of the pond's fountain which some suspect is the source of the leak.

Last week we reported that the friends group was considering this fix. It will cost the group $8,500, said Jason Kentner, who leads the friends organization. Weather permitting, it should be finished by June 21, he said.

The project requires workers to pump out enough pond water to do the job. Concrete will be poured around all the piping beneath the fountain, and stones will be placed over the rubber skirt.
