Timuquana Road Sewer Pump Station Improvement Project

A contractor working for JEA will soon be in your neighborhood to upgrade and improve the existing sanitary sewer pump station located at 4881 Timuquana Road (corner of Timuquana Road and Ortega Forest Drive). The treatment process at the facility is being improved by adding new process equipment and repurposing the existing equipment to update the facility, which will improve its reliability, production capacity and reduce odors.

The first phase of the construction involves the removal of existing trees, bushes and brush. Once construction of the facility begins, JEA will be required to install a temporary by-pass pumping system located at the station property. This pumping system will operate 24/7 during this time and is necessary to help move wastewater along during the improvements at the facility. 

• Estimated Completion Date: March 2023*

Some of the upgrades to the station include:

• Installing equipment to increase water treatment output, including headworks, bioreactors, clarifiers, expansion of the existing filters and ultraviolet disinfection, solids dewatering facility, reclaimed water storage tank and chemical systems
• Cleaning, modifying and repurposing of the existing facility to support the new systems
• Replacing all necessary valving and piping, and upgrading the electrical components of the plant
• Installing larger pumps and an emergency generator to help reduce or eliminate the occurrence of future sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs)
• Installing a new communications system to monitor the equipment and generator function
• Installing a new, modern, odor control system that will reduce odors from the facility
• Construction of a new access point (driveway and gate) to the facility on Ortega Forest Drive
• New drainage swales to improve onsite stormwater management
• New security fencing around the site (black vinyl coated chain link fence with black slats) and gates
• Improved landscaping around the facility

*Dates are highly subject to change. 

There will be increased noise associated during the demolition phase of the facility. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience during this important infrastructure improvement project.
