    In fall 2024, the City of Rehoboth Beach will replace the water main in the ocean block of Maryland Avenue. Work is expected to begin about October 7. This block of Maryland Avenue will be closed to through traffic while work is ongoing, but will be accessible to residents who live on that street. Signage and flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic flow. Parking will be restricted while work is underway (from 8 am-5 pm weekdays) but allowed in the evenings.

    Door hanger notices will be posted 48 hours in advance of any scheduled water outages.

    After water main work is complete on Maryland, the city will resurface the street of that block as well as 1st Street from Baltimore Avenue to past Virginia Avenue. Work is expected to be completed around December 2.

    The city will coordinate with homeowners on these streets to undertake any needed curb and sidewalk repairs, taking advantage of the city's contracted price, which is expected to be a considerable savings for homeowners.

    DelDOT is coming back in April 2025 to finish what it started on Rehoboth Avenue in the fall. Paving was completed in the fall from the bandstand to 2nd Street before work was halted in mid-December due to the early arrival of cold temperatures, which can impact the quality of paving.

    Roadwork is scheduled to resume beginning the evening of Sunday, April 6. The contractor, A-Del, will complete the project overnight, working from 6 pm-6 am Sunday evening through Friday morning.

    Work, which includes milling and paving between 2nd Street and the traffic circle, is expected to take about a month to complete. In addition, permanent striping will be installed east of 2nd Street, with minimal traffic impacts.

    • Milling will be completed first. The contractor will begin working from the traffic circle to 2nd Street in left-hand lanes on both sides of the roadway, and then will mill the right lanes and parking areas working from 2nd Street, and finally the traffic circle itself.
    • When milling is complete, the roadway will be paved.
    • Finally, striping will be installed.

    Lane closures and parking restrictions will be necessary in work zones; one lane in each direction will remain open. Flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic control. Where possible, the city will work with the contractor to ensure that parking on one side of the street remains open. For example, if storefront parking is closed in an area, median parking will remain open, if available.

    The paving project was expected to be completed by Friday, May 16, but due to rainy weather the final week of the project, work may extend into the week of May 19. In addition, thermoplastic pavement markings for crosswalks along Rehoboth Avenue will likely be completed in the fall.

    This project has been completed.

    The pump station on State Road is the main facility providing wastewater flow to the city's treatment plant. In 2021, the old facility was found to be structurally unsound. Work began in spring 2023 to replace the pumps and reconstruct the pump station. The $2.7 million project has been contracted to Michael F. Ronca & Sons Contractor and is expected to be completed in 2024.

    As of June 2024, the new pump station is fully operational and utilizing the 16-inch force main. A 12-inch force main, which is used in emergencies, also is ready if needed. Some finishing work will continue to occur at the project site, including changing a 10-inch line to plastic as well as installing permanent fencing and landscaping.
