Reminds me of my younger years. Every year we all went to a Marching Band Festival in Jackson, MO. There were literally probably a minimum of 1000-1500 high school band members there. One year some of the participants put dishwashing liquid in the fountain on the courthouse lawn. That was followed by throwing kids in it. The thing foamed-up and bubbles run over. The maintenance man came running out, and even kind of agreed that was probably the cleanest that fountain had been in years. The next year they put red dye in it. It looked like a bubbling of blood.

I have several packs of old Sea Marker Dye.


We used it just yesterday to find an old plugged up field tile at my daughters place.

Dropped a pack in the standing water at a drain in the woods.


Waited a while then started looking "down hill" Found it oozing out of the ground
in a swale, across two other properties, about 400-500 feet away.
That is muddy green dye in the center.


Then started walking back toward the drain and found two blow-outs with green water in them.


Now we know there the drain is, we need to try opening it up a bit.
