Project Objective
As part of the Galvanized Pipe Replacement Program to modernize more than 200 miles of JEA’s existing potable water distribution system, JEA replaced and upgraded the water line on Simms Drive from Devron Drive to Kylan Drive North. This work also included the installation of one (1) new fire hydrant.
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, enhanced fire protection and improved system reliability.
Construction Conditions
Construction primarily occurred in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way, roads, and easements.
