Ya learn something every day here on TFP, even if it's not pool related.Different term same thing. I've seen them called storm drains, storm sewers, and rainwater runoff. Using your terminology it's a storm drain. Definitely not a sanitary sewer.

This is fine if you are draining. But for an exchange, you need match out with in. So normally you use a garden hose (3/4" is best) for the effluent. That way your fill water can keep up.
The best for a true drain, is to rent a full power sump pump from Home Depot, etc. They can move 3000+ gallons an hour. You need a place to put that water, a sewer cleanout can get overwhelmed at that rate.
Hi. Thanks for everyone’s help. I did a simultaneous drain on Saturday but that didn’t do much to lower cya levels. I did a drain then refill on Sunday.
I really hate the black dot test. I’ve read all the tips and tricks for it... back to the sun, hold test by the waist, do the hokey pokey, blink 20 times...ok some of that was made up but you get the point.
