City drains needing black flushed out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leeds

'city' is the definition.
(Leeds is an example)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for leeds that I've seen before include "British city and premier division football club" , "City near Bradford" , "W Yorkshire city" , "Northern town" , "Yorkshire city - Kent castle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
