Well 10 is not operable, and the cost of installing a treatment facility necessary to ensure the water that is drawn from it is clean and clear would cost about $4 million, said Borough Administrator Karen Kroon. Thus, the decision was made to dig a new well with a built-in treatment facility that will provide clean water immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Well 10 will be abandoned.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15067\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/seaside_park_water_tank_tower_1588-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"The Seaside Park water tower at Decatur Avenue prior to maintenance, Oct. 2023.
