For decades, Billy Goodnick has been showing people how to create sustainable

This past weekend saw the IPPCA and a dozen of its contractor members from all over the country completing the fourth annual humanitarian Ponditat For Humanity™ Pond Renovation project. The local ABC affiliate covered the event on both the first and last day.
This year’s recipient, The Ashland Terrace retirement home in Lexington, Kentucky, had their failing and leaking high maintenance water feature totally rebuilt, updated and expanded with state-of-the-art equipment.
IPPCA supporters such as Danner Manufacturing, Firestone Specialty Products, Easy Pro Manufacturing, Atlantic Water Gardens, American Pond, Graystone Creations, Aquatic Logic, Winston Products, Aqua Control, Ewing Irrigation, Fielding Pumps, Enviroscapes, and the Dow Chemical Company graciously supplied all the hardware and equipment for this unique event. Local suppliers H2O Designs and Tracy Rock and Gravel supplied additional materials as well.
The Pond’s current aquatic residents were temporarily housed onsite in several large aerated tanks until the three-day scheduled build was completed and they could be returned to their new and vastly improved home.
