Outfall Pipe Vote Set for June 27th

City of Rehoboth Commissioners set the date for the referendum, the public vote, on borrowing the money for the controversial ocean outfall pipe for Saturday, June 27, 2015.

People need to ask why the cost keeps going up. The City website claims the outfall pipe portion of the project will be $25 Million as seen in the slideshow (below the video) here . But tow news articles have the cost of the outfall pipe portion at $31 or $32 million, as reported in this Cape Gazette article by Ryan Mavity and this News Journal article by Molly Murray.

Let us just say that Stan Mills' claim of "misinformation" by our group are unfounded. A person who uses our site to make a comment is not the same as the official position or our group.  Yes we know there are outfall pipes in Bethany and in Ocean City. Our main claim is not that this pipe will be horribly polluting to the ocean. Our main claim is that land based application is cheaper and ocean outfall is a waste of water.

I think putting something on the town's website saying outfall will cost $25 million when the most recent numbers are more like $31 million is misinformation now Mr. Mills.
