Have you tried syphoning it into a drain? - so long as the bottom of the

Any drains near the house lead to our septic tank which could not cope
with that amount of water.

The roadway is some distance away and I don't have any hose that would
reach the nearest roadway drain nor would it be practical.

I suppose my main concern is if the water could damage the plants in the
garden, if I decided to empty it bit by bit straight onto the lawn and
flower beds.

I'd get some refuse disposal type people in to pump it out for you into a
tanker and be done with it.
