Avalon Updates on Remediation Oct. 31

AVALON — Avalon officials spent the last few hours of day­light on Oct. 30 doing as much reme­di­a­tion work as they could in Avalon before dark. Crews stayed through­out the night again for var­i­ous recov­ery efforts in Avalon, reported Scott Wahl, borough public relations director.
“We can report a large amount of elec­tric util­ity vehi­cles were seen arriv­ing near shore points in South Jer­sey dur­ing the late after­noon hours on Wednes­day. We will pro­vide updates on elec­tri­cal ser­vice, sewer ser­vice (which had been sus­pended by the Cape May County MUA), cleanup and recov­ery, the sta­tus of roads, and other con­di­tions.
“Ocean Drive lead­ing towards the Townsend Inlet Bridge will be closed for quite a while due to a road col­lapse. Winds have finally qui­eted along shore points includ­ing Avalon and tidal con­cerns are no longer an issue which will help accelerate the cleanup process.
“Thank you for your kind words and patience and we will have more infor­ma­tion com­ing after this morning’s assess­ment. Con­tinue to visit www.avalonemergency.org for essen­tial infor­ma­tion, along with our Face­book page.
