Project Objective
As part of the Galvanized Pipe Replacement Program to modernize more than 200 miles of JEA’s existing potable water distribution system, JEA crews be working on a project to replace and upgrade portions of the water lines on Columbus Avenue from Erie Avenue to Niagara Avenue, and Niagara Avenue from Lowell Avenue to Commonwealth Avenue.
This work will also include the installation of two (2) new fire hydrants. When completed, this project will provide increased water pressure, enhanced fire protection and improved system reliability.
Construction Conditions
Work will primarily occur in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way and easements.
For the safety of our crews and the public, JEA will be required to close and detour traffic around the work area when crews are actively working. Please see the work area map below.
Residents, businesses and business patrons will have access and will be permitted to drive (with caution) within the project area. There will be times when driveway access is limited while crews are working directly in front of homes and businesses. Please observe all construction signs, detours and general directions provided by the crews working on-site. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused by this construction work.
Planned Water Outages
Some customers may experience minor interruptions to their water service. JEA will notify customers at least 48-hours prior to any planned water outages.
Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area will begin soon after the project has been completed. Any existing grass, sprinklers, pavement, curb, gutter, driveways and/or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
