Project Objective

As part of the Galvanized Pipe Replacement Program to modernize more than 200 miles of JEA’s existing potable water distribution system, a contractor working for JEA (Petticoat-Schmitt Civil Contractors) upgraded portions of the water lines on Stockton Street from Park Street to Riverside Avenue.

These pipes had approached the end of their useful service lives and were proactively replaced to ensure the reliability of the JEA water system in the area. 

This project will provide increased water pressure, fewer unplanned water repairs, and fewer unplanned water outages in the area. 

Construction Conditions

Construction primarily occurred in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way, roads, and easements.

Restoration of Project Area

Restoration of the project area typically begins 2-3 weeks after the new water line has been installed, tested and cleared for use. Any existing pavement, grass, curb, gutter, driveways or sidewalks affected during construction was returned to its pre-construction condition.
