Councillor Tim Valentine, cabinet member for the environment at the council, said:
“We’re delighted that the well is running and available for the locals and visitors who visit our wonderful Oare marshes. We test the water every year and it always receives an outstanding result and this year is no different.
“We’re very lucky to have so much outdoor space and naturally beautiful areas like the Oare marshes to visit, and this has never been more important than in recent months. We encourage people to get out and see the local treasures we have across the borough safely.”
Councillor Mike Baldock, cabinet member for heritage at the council, said:
“We’re pleased to help Kent Wildlife Trust get the water flowing again from this 100+-year-old well. “Maintaining and restoring heritage across the borough is a key priority for us, so I’m delighted we were able to provide £10,000 funding to repair this popular well.
"The well is a big draw for walkers and tourists, mentioned in hundreds of books and online guides, and we are proud to have been part of the team to bring it back into use so that visitors will see it in its full glory once again."
