  Update 11/18/2024 The water main portion of this project is complete, and all services have been switched over to the new water main. Milling and paving operations on Maryland Avenue and 1st Street will begin November 25 and are expected to be completed December 3. No on-street parking will be permitted 11/25-27 and 12/2-3; ingress and egress to driveways will be permitted. Expect delays during paving operations. No work will take place 11/28-12/1; on-street parking is permitted on these days.

  
  

  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.

  Completed - approximately 400 new water meters were installed on the southside of the city in fall 2023.

  As part of an ongoing effort to renew water meters, the City of Rehoboth Beach will replace more than 500 water meters on the southside of the city beginning in October; see the map for the impacted area. Harry Caswell, Inc. of Millsboro is the contractor on this project at a cost of $77,017.50.

  New meters, those installed over the past five-six years, can be read remotely using a FlexNet system that the city will install in late 2023. Through the FlexNet system, which integrates directly with the city's Munis billing system, customers will be able to log in and monitor water usage.
