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 water main route for Segment 5 follows the Arlington Expressway South Service Road east to Southside Boulevard. The route then follows Southside Boulevard south across Atlantic Boulevard to Bradley Road. Segment 5 consists of approximately 10,000 feet of 30-inch pipe. The water main will connect to an existing 16-inch main at Century Rd. The first half of Segment 5 is primarily located along the Arlington Expressway South Service Road which impacts the entrances to several apartment complexes and businesses.

Segment 5 Project Highlights

  • Total project cost $8.8 million
  • The pipeline will be 30-inches in diameter, approximately 10,000 feet long, made of ductile iron and weigh over 1,117,000 pounds (559 tons). This is equivalent to the weight of 199 Ford F-150 trucks.
  • The volume of water in Segment 5 will be approximately 400,000 gallons, which is equivalent to 18 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 JEAs service area.
