The easiest way to remove the water is to use something
like a submersible pool cover pump that attaches to a
garden hose to evac the water. These can be found,
generally, at your local pool supply retailer and are
priced in the $30-100 range. I don't know what a septic
company would charge, but my guess is that it would
be comparable.

Remove balance of water - It will need to be pumped so
as not to stink up the neighbors yards with sludge water.
What sort of pump would work? Would a septic company
do something like this?
