Simms Drive Water Main Improvement Project

Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.*

*In some circumstances, extended hours and weekends may be required. Crews will not work on JEA holidays. 

As part of the Galvanized Pipe Replacement Program to modernize more than 200 miles of JEA’s existing potable water distribution system, JEA is replacing and upgrading the water line on Simms Drive from Devron Drive to Kylan Drive North. This work will also include the installation of one (1) new fire hydrant.

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

Residents will have access and will be permitted to drive (with caution) within the project area. Please see the 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.
