    Where to drain a pool?

    I’m having someone come over this weekend to take my pool. I’m getting rid of it. My question is, where do I drain all the water? I can’t each the sewer and I’m not even sure that’s legal. Please let me know if you’ve done this, where all the water went. Will it kill my grass? Thanks
