Project Objective

JEA is beginning a project to construct a water transmission pipeline between its two major water grids in Duval County. This project, known as the Total Water Management Plan (TWMP) Project, will transport excess water supply from the north side of the St. Johns River to the south side of the river to better meet increased Potable Water demand in the southerly portion of the JEA service area. This project will also promote conservation of the Floridian aquifer by lessening JEA's water resource withdrawal demand from its southern Raw Water well fields.

Construction Areas

The Segment 3 route is primarily located through residential neighborhoods with the exception of the University Boulevard crossing which is near a church and several businesses. Segment 3 route begins at the south end of Arco Drive and proceeds north to Arlington Road turning east and proceeding to Clock Street where it continues north to Commerce Street. The route then continues east on Commerce Street to the Arlington Water Treatment Plant. Segment 3 will also include the pipeline leaving the Arlington WTP and the alignment will complete at the intersection of Westdale Drive and Commerce Street near the southeast corner of the Arlington WTP property. Segment 3 consists of approximately 6,200 feet of 36-inch pipe. A booster pump station is planned to be installed in the line at the Arlington Water Treatment Plant. The route crosses FDOT right-of-way at University Blvd. where FDOT has allowed an open-cut installation method.

Segment 3 Highlights

  • Total project cost $4.9 million
  • The pipeline will be 36-inches in diameter, approximately 6,200 feet long, made of ductile iron and weigh over 925,000 pounds (463 tons). This is equivalent to the weight of 165 Ford F-150 trucks.
  • The volume of water in Segment 3 will be approximately 355,000 gallons, which is equivalent to 16 average size swimming pools.
  • A booster pump station is planned to be installed in the pipeline at the Arlington Water Treatment Plant.
  • Once this project is complete it will allow JEA to better meet growing potable water demands in the southerly portion of JEA the service area.
