MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP WELL 10 REPLACEMENT

Manchester Township recently closed on a $2.1 million loan with the New Jersey Water Bank to replace Well No. 10 in its Western Service Area. Because the township qualifies under the New Jersey Water Bank's affordability criteria and the project advances important clean water objectives, it is expected to receive principal forgiveness equal to the full loan amount at long-term closing, if awarded as anticipated. This would substantially reduce the financial burden on the community.

The project will include the construction of a new drinking water well and a permanent well building to house the facility. Additional work includes modifications to existing site utilities and the proper abandonment of the existing Well No. 10, which has reached the end of its useful life.

The new well will be designed and constructed in accordance with current New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection DEP permitting requirements and Safe Drinking Water regulations. Once completed, the project will help ensure a reliable source of drinking water for residents and strengthen the long-term resilience of Manchester Township's water system.

By investing in critical water infrastructure, Manchester Township is taking proactive steps to maintain safe, dependable drinking water service for its community.
