Southside Integrated Pipe System Segment 3
Estimated Dates & Work Schedule
Anticipated End Date: 2026-04-30
Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.*

Project Objective
A contractor working for JEA (Garney Construction) is continuing work on the third and final phase of an overall project to construct a new water transmission pipeline between two major water treatment grids located in JEA’s Duval County service territory. This project will allow JEA the ability to 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.
Once the new water transmission line is constructed and placed on-line, it will result in a direct offset of water withdrawal from the South Grid. When completed, this project will promote conservation of the Floridian aquifer by lessening JEA's water resource withdrawal demand from its southern raw water well fields.
This third and final phase of the project involves the installation of approximately 41,200 feet of 30-inch ductile iron water main from the JEA electric easement at the end of Validus Drive to the Greenland Water Treatment Plant on Philips Hwy (US 1).
Construction Conditions
Construction will occur in City and State rights-of-way and easements, and within the electric transmission line easement(s) located near homes and businesses. For the safety of crews and the general public, temporary road closures and detours will be required while work progresses along the project route. During the course of this work, access to your residences and businesses will be maintained. JEA will send emails to notify residents directly impacted by these temporary road closures and detours in advance.
Project Update -January 2025 - Edison East, Sweetwater and Hampton Park
Currently, the contractor is conducting drilling operations in the utility easement behind homes in the Edison East community. Due to the nature of the drilling, once started, the operation must run continuously, 24/7, until the section of pipe is fully installed. We expect this round-the-clock work to be completed on Sunday, February 2, 2025.
We apologize for any noise disruptions and appreciate the community’s patience as we complete this phase of the project. Once finished, the contractor will move drilling activities north along the easement towards the Sweetwater and Hampton Park communities.

Planned Water Outages
Some customers may experience minor interruptions to their water service. JEA will notify customers at least 48-hours prior to any planned water outages.
Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area will begin soon after the project has been completed. Any existing grass, sprinklers, pavement, curb, gutter, driveways and/or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
