West 5th Street Emergency Sewer Repair Project

Estimated Dates & Work Schedule

Anticipated Start Date: 2018-08-19

Project Objective

JEA replaced a portion of a sanitary sewer main line that reached the end of its service life located at 3018 West 5th Street near Detroit Street and Melson Avenue. Sewer main line breaks can potentially cause sewer back-ups and roadway issues. This work required the removal of ground water with pump systems prior to construction. 

Construction Conditions

Construction will occur in the City’s streets, rights of way and easements.  For the safety of our crews and the general public, a portion of West 5th Street will be closed from Detroit Street to Melson Avenue. 

Residents will be permitted to drive with caution through the construction area. Please observe all construction signs, detours, and general directions provided by the JEA crews working onsite. We apologize in advance for delays caused by this work.

Restoration of Project Area

Restoration of the project area will begin after the sewer line has been repaired, tested and cleared for use. Upon completion of the project, existing pavement, grass, curb, gutter, driveways or sidewalks affected during construction will be restored.
