REMARKS - Records of water levels prior to January 1957 are available in files of the U.S. Geological Survey. Based on a review of historical records, the published records of water level, in ft NGVD, from October 29, 1992 to April 12, 1996 are in error. Station was reconstructed June 1970, November 1992 and November 23, 1999. This well was originally open to the aquifer from 36 to 91 ft. The open interval has collapsed or become obstructed with sand at a depth of 30 ft. Well is still considered in good hydrologic communication with the aquifer.

EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Highest water level, 9.43 ft NGVD, Oct. 15, 1999; lowest, 1.29 ft NGVD, June 18, 2011.
