This project has been completed. Below is the information provided to customers prior to the project start date.

Roads Affected

Dupont Avenue, Ribereno Drive, San Jose Boulevard

Project Objective

JEA crews will be replacing the existing water main along the east side San Jose Boulevard from DuPont Avenue South to Ribereno Drive. These pipes have reached the end of their service lives and need to be proactively replaced to prevent any future main breaks or possible water outages.

This project will also include the installation of new individual water services (to the property line) and two new fire hydrants. When completed, the new main will increase area water pressure, provide for better system reliability and area fire protection. This is one of several JEA projects to replace the water main along San Jose Boulevard.

Construction Conditions

Construction will primarily occur in the City of Jacksonville and Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) rights of way, roads and easements. There will be times when roads will have limited access while the water main is installed but the flow of traffic will be maintained.

The majority of the work will occur within the right turn lane and parking lane located along San Jose Boulevard. Residents and businesses will be unable to park in these areas while the crews are working in the area.

Sections of driveways will be removed and replaced to install the pipe. Residents affected will be notified in advance by crews to allow for removal of vehicles prior to driveway construction.

Water Outages

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

Restoration of the Project Area

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