Locate the wet area in relation to the basin or canal
Harrisville’s Public Works page identifies detention-basin and city-owned-canal maintenance among its Storm Water Department roles. That context does not establish the cause of wetness at a particular lawn.
Describe where and when the wet area was observed and the nearby basin or canal you mean. Use existing photographs or records without entering or disturbing the feature. Ask which system question the City can address, leaving uncertain ownership and cause open.
Keep lawn restoration separate from the unresolved water problem
For the private proposal, ask which lawn or surface-restoration work has been assessed and accepted. State the desired finish, retained areas and the water-related question that is still unresolved. A clearer lawn appearance should not be treated as proof that the source of wetness has been addressed.
Keep any City response attached to the basin or canal concern it answers. Ask the appropriate professional what separate assessment remains before a wider remedy is agreed. This guide chooses no drainage route, turf treatment or construction method and promises no freedom from recurring wetness.
Does a wet yard beside a basin prove the basin is the cause?
No causal finding is made. The City describes a basin and city-owned-canal maintenance role. Identify the observation and ask the appropriate parties to assess its relationship to the yard.
What should a lawn-restoration quote say while the water problem is unresolved?
Identify the limited lawn or surface work accepted and the separate wet-area assessment still needed. Keep a finish proposal distinct from an agreed drainage remedy or recurrence guarantee; no route, outlet or construction method is selected.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
