Project Objective

JEA upgraded and replaced the existing water main on 6th Street West between Melson Avenue and Alfen Street. This section of water main had reached the end of its useful service life and was proactively replaced to ensure the reliability of the water system that serves your neighborhood. This work also included the installation of two (2) new fire hydrants. This project will provide increased water pressure, enhanced fire protection and improved system reliability. 

Construction Conditions

Work primarily occurred in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way and easements.

Restoration of the Project Area

Restoration of the project area will typically begin 2-3 weeks after the new water main has been installed, tested and cleared for use. Upon completion of the project, any existing pavement, grass, curb, gutter, driveways or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned pre-construction condition.
