It's drained in the winter, and periodically to clean the muck out.

Also, when cleaning it, sometimes they also take advantage of the opportunity to service/maintain the plumbing. :)

I don’t think it’s a natural pond - no water in or out, it’s more of a big puddle. Stuff washed in, and can’t wash back out, so it collects junk. It’s easier to clean when it’s empty.

They drain and clean it every spring - not just to get rid of all the trash, but to scrape a layer of mud off the bottom so the pond doesn't slowly get shallower over time.
