That's pretty deep for a dug well with tiles. Is the top capped with a concrete cap? There's no way any creature could get in properly capped with concrete. If it's not 30 foot you could get a ladder and a pump , pump it down, clean out the well and bleach it. I take it you have a shallow pump with foot valve. If you do and chose not to convert it to submersible ,I'd replace the foot valve while someone is down there. Is it possible to pump out the well with the pump already in the well? You could have a second person on top pulling up a 5 gallon bucket and muck it out until it was clean or use a second small pump.
