St Johns Town Center Sanitary Sewer Repair Project

Regular work hours: Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.*

*NOTE: Dates are highly subject to change and occasional night and weekend work may be necessary. 

JEA crews replaced two (2) failing sanitary sewer manholes located within the St Johns Town Center near the Dillard’s north parking area. This work will required the removal of ground water with pump systems prior to construction, and pumps to temporarily bypass the sewage during construction. These pump systems operated continuously during the repairs. Failures to sewer manholes can potentially cause major sewer back-ups, environmental harm and roadway issues.

NOTE: JEA crews will also be replaced a third manhole, just east of Town Center Parkway near Wells Fargo and a contractor repaired two additional structures (one on Town Crossing Drive; one on Midtown Parkway behind Maggiano’s). 

Construction occurred in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way and easements. For the safety of our crews and the general public, widespread pedestrian/traffic protection systems and/or temporary fencing was installed around the work area. This work impacted both vehicle and foot traffic in and around the construction areas (see work area map below) including parking lots (approximately 50 spaces) and pedestrian walkways. JEA iworked with Simon property management staff to coordinate and minimize impacts to St. Johns Town Center businesses and customers. JEA also worked with waste management contractors to make sure access is provided to empty containers behind California Pizza Kitchen.
