Water outage scheduled for portion of Rehoboth Beach

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – A water outage is scheduled for the far south side of Rehoboth Beach Wednesday night.

Officials say the outage is necessary so that crews can install water valves in the vicinity of the State Road pump station. The valve installation is required as part of the project to replace the decaying State Road pump station.

Impacted streets include Lee Street, Newcastle Street Extended, Scarborough Street Extended (including New Bold Square), School Lane, Silver Lane, and Stockley Street Extended. Rehoboth Elementary School, Ocean Bay Mart, and Rehoboth Auto Repair are included in the outage.

The outage is scheduled to take place from 10 p.m. Wednesday until 6 a.m. Thursday. If customers experience any air in water lines or discolored water when they first turn on taps after water is restored Thursday morning, they should run water from all sink faucets for a few minutes and flush all toilets.
