Project Objective

JEA replaced and upgraded the water main on Free Avenue between Acme Street and Bowlan Street. This work also included the installation of a new fire hydrant. When completed, this project will increase water pressure and provide improved system reliability. 

Construction Conditions

Construction occurred in the City’s rights of way, streets and easements. Free Ave WIP Project Map

Water Outages

Some customers will experience minor interruptions to their water service. JEA will notify customers 48 hours prior to any planned outages. Residents may also experience a brief (10 to 15 minutes) outage while crews transfer customers from the old water service to the new water service.

Restoration of Project Area

Restoration of the project area will begin once the water main has been installed, tested and cleared for use. Upon completion of the project, any existing pavement, grass, driveways or sidewalks affected during  construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
