Rehoboth Beach holding town hall for ocean outfall project

The City of Rehoboth Beach is inviting the public to learn more about the construction implementation for the ocean outfall project on Tuesday.

Officials say that the town hall will be on Saturday, September 16 at 1:00 PM in the second floor meeting room of the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company, 219 Rehoboth Avenue.

There will reportedly be a presentation by engineers and contractors for the project along with a question and answer session.

Officials say that the outfall project includes a new pump station at the wastewater treatment plant, a force main to convey the treated waste to the ocean outfall and an outfall pipe with a diffuser to spread the waste into the ocean.

Officials say that crews plan on tentatively mobilizing equipment on October 1 and work is to set to be finished by April 30, 2018.
