Project Objective
A contractor working for JEA (IPR) replaced a portion of sanitary sewer main line on Chelsea Street between Price Street and Dora Street and between Dora Street and Jackson Street. Failures to sewer mains can potentially cause major sewer back-ups, environmental harm and roadway issues. Once completed, this project will increase the reliability of the sewer system and help prevent future sewer main breaks.
This sewer installation was completed using the pipebursting method of construction. This method is less disruptive to neighborhoods than the traditional open-cut method of replacing sewer lines, and the overall project duration is typically shorter.

Construction Conditions
Please see the work area map below.
Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area typically takes place 2-3 weeks after the sewer line has been repaired, 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 to its pre-construction condition.
