Check with your local wildlife officer for some names of trappers that will remove the beavers. They will continue to try to stop the outflow of water from the pond. That's what beavers do, along with destroying trees.

The cattails can be controlled with herbicides but with an infestation as you allude to it will take some time. Do a search under controlling unwanted plants for which herbicide to use. Look for posts by Kelly.
Like Dirtguy says, prevention is best. Deepening the edges will deter them.
