New Koi Pond

[Neal]

I hate to jump in the fray, but he does have legal responsibility if an unattended kid drowns in his man-made pond. Doesn't make it fair or right, but that's how our lovely laws work. My home owners insurance would be thru the roof if my pool didn't have a gated fence, regardless of the fact that there should never be children trespassing in my back yard.

Yea but a pool and a tub of water are different things, and a good lawyer would easily get that case thrown out.

That's like me washing my car with a bucket of water and I go inside to take a break or use the bathroom and a kid comes by and falls in headfirst in the 5 gallon bucket of water that I was washing my car with and drowns. A pool is something different because it's a huge body of water.
