Project Objective
JEA has upgraded and replaced approximately 4,000 linear feet of potable water main
along Jammes Road from Wilson Boulevard to Graves Street, and on Graves Street
from Jammes Road to Thumper Street (please see the work area map below). These
pipes had reached the end of their useful service lives and needed to be proactively replaced to ensure the reliability of the JEA water system in the
area.
This work also included the installation of four (4) new fire
hydrants. This project will provide increased water
pressure, fewer unplanned water repairs, fewer unplanned water outages and
enhanced fire protection to the area.
The final phase of this project was to connect individual homes and businesses to the new water line (at the property line), Final paving of the project area is scheduled to take place December 5-9, 2022*
Construction Conditions
For the safety of crews and the general public, there will be periods when area roads will have limited access or detoured while crews are connecting individual homes (at the property line) to the new water line and during final paving of the project area.
Final Paving - December 5th - December 9th
Our contractor will soon be returning to the area to complete permanent paving of the roadway. For the safety of crews and the general public, we will be required to temporarily close portions of Jammes Road between Sages Road and Wilson Boulevard, and a portion of Graves Street during the paving operation (please see work area map below).
