City of Rehoboth Beach to hold town hall for ocean outfall project

The City of Rehoboth Beach invites the public to learn about the construction implementation for the ocean outfall project. The town hall will take place on Saturday, September 16, at 1 p.m. in the second-floor meeting room of the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company, 219 Rehoboth Avenue. There will be a presentation by engineers and contractors for the project followed by a question and answer session. The outfall project includes a new pump station at the wastewater treatment plant, a force main to convey the treated effluent to the ocean outfall and an outfall pipe with a diffuser to disperse the effluent into the ocean. Crews plan on tentatively mobilizing equipment October 1, 2017, and work is to be completed by April 30, 2018. For more information on the project, please visit cityofrehoboth.com.
