Project Objective

As part of the Small Diameter Pipe Replacement Project to modernize more than 200 miles of JEA’s existing potable water distribution system, A contractor working for JEA (T.G. Utility Company) will soon begin a project in your area to replace and upgrade the water line on portions of Leonard Circle East, Leonard Circle West, 33rd Street West, 30th Street West, Earline Drive, Charles Street, Effee Street and Lionell Street. 

These pipes are approaching the end of their useful service lives and are being proactively replaced to ensure the reliability of the JEA water system in the area. When completed, this project will provide increased water pressure, enhanced fire protection and improved system reliability. 

Construction Areas

Work will primarily occur in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way and easements. 

Construction Conditions

Residents will have access and will be permitted to drive (with caution) within the project area. However, street parking will be limited. Please see the work area map below. There will be times when driveway access is limited while crews are working directly in front of homes. Please observe all construction signs, detours and general directions provided by the crews working on-site. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused by this construction work. 

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 typically begins 2-3 weeks 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.
