they went back to 1900 or so. Over the years water was high, in the yard up to the door. Then water was low and very shallow at the wall. 10 years is nothing. They put up walls then higher walls and still had water in the yard some years.
Lake Erie north of Toledo and north has dikes put in 30 or so years ago. People took some down over the years and now are getting flooded. These are the fun times of living on the water... soon they will be in the water. Then it will go down.
If you want to live ON the water this is something you have to put up with.

If you build seawalls for a living, these "high-water times" are great. JustABozoOnThisBus May 2021 #2
