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 JEAs water resource withdrawal demand from its southern Raw Water well fields

Construction Areas

The Segment 4 route is primarily located through residential neighborhoods with the exception of the Arlington Road and Arlington Expressway crossings. Segment 4 begins at the intersection of Westdale Drive and Commerce Street near the southeast corner of the Arlington WTP property, and follows Commerce Street to the intersection of Underhill Drive. The route turns south on Underhill Drive and continues to Groveland Drive where it turns east crossing Arlington Road on to Lone Star Road turning south on Bert Road. The route continues south along Bert Road to meet the North Arlington Expressway Service Road where it will continue east until it crosses the Arlington Expressway (near Alderman Road) to the South Arlington Expressway Service Road. The route then continues east along the South Arlington Expressway Service Road in the grassy median until it passes the bridge over a tributary water body of Strawberry Creek. Segment 4 consists of approximately 6,900 feet of 30-inch pipe.

Segment 4 Project Highlights

  • Total project cost $4.6 million
  • The pipeline will be 30-inches in diameter, approximately 6,900 feet long, made of ductile iron and weigh over 770,000 pounds (385 tons). This is equivalent to the weight of 138 Ford F-150 trucks.
  • The volume of water in Segment 4 will be approximately 276,000 gallons, which is equivalent to 13 average size swimming pools.
  • Once this project is complete it will allow JEA to better meet growing potable water demands in the southerly portion of the JEA service area.
