Plan the cleanout before the water comes out.
A cleanout needs a disposal plan
Canton’s stormwater guidance explains that drains carry runoff toward surface waters and asks residents to keep wastewater and debris out of them. Before a cleanout, ask the professional how removed water and sludge will be handled. Check with the city when the appropriate disposal route is unclear.

Prepare a more useful inquiry
- Photograph the route from parking to the pond, including gates and steps.
- Explain where the pond overflows and whether a drain is nearby.
- List fish, approximate pond size, and any recent water treatments.
