Northwest Water Treatment Plant Project

Note: Start and completion dates are subject to change and in some circumstances night, weekend and extended hours may be necessary. JEA crews will not be working on holidays observed by the City of Jacksonville. 

JEA constructed the Northwest Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at 1820 Owens Road. This new plant will serve as a back-up facility to our Highlands WTP (located off Dunn Avenue). 

The new plant will provide finished-water for new commercial and residential developments in the north-grid and surrounding areas. The Northwest WTP will supply an initial water capacity of 5.89 million gallons per day (MGD) and have a final build-out capacity of 14.4 MGD.
