In the next few weeks, JEA will be in your neighborhood upgrading and replacing the main electric feeder line that serves your neighborhood. When completed, this work will increase the amperage capacity of the power line, thereby reducing chances of overloading the circuit which can lead to unplanned power outages.

The new upgraded feeder will be able to handle three times the capacity as the old feeder. In addition, JEA will also be replacing any old or deteriorated power poles along the project route as well as installing new fiberglass cross‐arms, brackets for insulators, fuses, and transformers which will also provide for better power quality and reliability. These new facilities will protect against birds and squirrels which are often the cause of many unplanned blips and power outages. JEA will not be doing any work at the individual electric meter that serves your home.

JEA may require some detours and lane closures while this work is completed. The Jacksonville Sherriff’s Office will sometimes be utilized to help direct traffic around the construction area.

Residents will first notice locate paint marks and flags on the ground throughout the project area. These locates assist our crews in locating the existing underground utilities prior to the start of any work. Residents can expect anywhere between 5‐8 large utility trucks in the area depending on the planned work activity. 

Power poles will be temporarily dropped off or staged in the public right of way portion of your yard unl they can be installed. Several poles may be moved back at least 4‐feet from the curb, road, or sidewalk to conform to current JEA standards for road clearances. Most poles replaced will remain immediately adjacent to the existing pole.
