Nassau - Amelia Concourse Water Improvement Project
Project Objective
JEA and our contractor, Williams Industrial Services Group LLC, completed an important project to install infrastructure project to better connect the Nassau Regional Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to the Nassau grid which will help sustain water distribution system pressure during peak demand season.
The scope of this project included the construction of approximately 1,400 Linear Feet (LF) of 24-inch water main from Nassau Regional WTP to an existing 16-inch water main located near the intersection of Piedmont Drive and Amelia Concourse.
The project also included construction of approximately 240 LF of 12-inch raw water main on the Nassau Regional WTP site, as well as a new backup well and approximately 2,500 LF of 12-inch raw water main from the new well site crossing Amelia Concourse near the Journey Church to provide water to the Nassau Regional WTP.
- Completion Date - May 2020*

- Piedmont Drive paving is currently being rescheduled. Customers will be notified once this paving work has been rescheduled.
*Dates and times are approximate and depending on weather are highly subject to change.
This paving operation will require temporary road and/or lane closures that will shift while paving is being completed. Please plan ahead for traffic delays. We request that residents within the paving boundaries remove all vehicles, equipment and trash receptacles until the paving operation is complete. Residents in the immediate area will have limited access to their street and driveways during paving operations.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this work and appreciate your continued patience throughout this important infrastructure improvement project.
Piedmont Drive in Lofton Pointe
During the project, periodic temporary road closures and detours were required for both the safety of our crews and the general public. Motorists were permitted to drive (with caution) through the construction area during pipe installation.
A segment of Piedmont Drive from the entrance to JEA’s Nassau Regional WTP located at 96362 Piedmont Drive through the roundabout to Amelia Concourse was temporarily closed to thru traffic and local traffic detoured out of the neighborhood (see the work area and detour map below).
Construction Conditions & Temporary Amelia Concourse Lane Closures
Construction occurred in the County’s streets, rights of way and easements. Motorists were permitted to drive (with caution) through the construction area during pipe installation.
JEA was also required to cross Amelia Concourse with the new water main from near the entrance to The Journey Church (95707 Amelia Concourse) across Amelia Concourse to near the Step by Step Learning Center (95734 Amelia Concourse). Crews maintained access to both The Journey Church, Step by Step Learning Center and businesses located along Amelia Concourse.
JEA notified area residents and vehicular traffic of the required temporary evening lane closures using electronic message boards. The contractor crews maintained traffic in both directions during the evening work. Traffic lanes were shifted and reduced to one lane in each direction. See below map for details.
Restoration of the Project Area & Paving
Restoration of the project area will begin once the lines have been installed, tested and cleared for use. Any existing pavement, grass, curb, gutter, driveways, or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to their pre-construction condition.
