PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that minor tidal flooding is
expected. Minor tidal flooding often results in some road
closures. Usually, the most vulnerable roadways will flood.

Do not leave your vehicle at a location that is prone to tidal
flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The
water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting
yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to
costly repairs.

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. - The Rehoboth Beach Wastewater Treatment Plant project began back in 2018, and the city expects the project to take roughly ten years to complete. The city says the $40 million dollar project was created to make waste treatment more cost effective. The project consists of four phases, and the third phase is currently underway. The city expects the third phase of the project to be completed by September 2024.

Kevin Williams, the Director of Public Works for Rehoboth Beach says conditions of the plant have already improved.

"A lot of electrical stuff was really important for us to get done so that was a critical one for us, to get the safety things taken care of with the electrical system," explained Williams.

According to Williams, the first part of the project was to support the city's ocean outfall project, then electrical and safety upgrades were made. Currently, a de-watering building is being built to remove water from waste more effectively. Lastly, the project will fix the emergency diversion tanks used for storage emergencies and update lab facilities.

"We test for phosphorous, nitrogen, for solid content, for oxygen, all those kinds of things, and the new lab in phase four will help us do that in a better ways," said Williams.

The city says the fourth and final phase of the project is expected to be completed by fall 2026.
