Project Objective
As part of the Small Diameter Pipe Replacement Program to modernize hundreds of miles of JEA’s existing potable water distribution system, JEA will soon begin a project in your area to replace and upgrade a portion of the water line on W. 12th Street between N. Myrtle Avenue and Eaverson Street.
This section of water main is approaching the end of its useful service life and is being proactively replaced to ensure the reliability of the JEA water system in the area. This work also includes the installation of a new fire hydrant. When completed, this project will provide increased water pressure, enhanced fire protection, and improved system reliability.
Construction Areas
Construction will primarily take place in the City of Jacksonville rights-of-way and utility easements.
Construction Conditions
Residents and businesses will have access and will be permitted to drive through the project area with caution. There may be times when driveway access is limited while crews are working directly in front of homes and/or businesses. Crews will knock on doors to provide time to move vehicles prior to blocking any driveways. Please observe all construction signs, detours, and general directions provided by the crews working on-site.
This work will not impact your normal JEA electric, water, or sewer service.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation during the construction process.
Temporary Road Closure
For the safety of crews and the public, W. 12th Street between N. Myrtle Avenue and Eaverson Street will be temporarily closed during scheduled work hours. The road will reopen at the end of each workday. Please see the work area map below.
