JEA, Haskell, Jacobs Celebrate Jacksonville’s Newest Water Reclamation Facility in 48 Years

2025-07-28

JACKSONVILLE, FL (July 28, 2025) – Leaders from JEA, the City of Jacksonville, Haskell Co., and Jacobs came together July 28 to celebrate the opening of the Greenland Water Reclamation Facility with a ribbon cutting. 

JEA’s Greenland Water Reclamation Facility is the utility’s newest wastewater treatment facility in Duval County in 48 years. The facility is environmentally friendly with zero effluent discharge. That means all wastewater is disinfected and distributed back into the reclaimed water system as opposed to being discharged into natural wetlands or the St. Johns River. 

The facility began operations last February, less than three years after construction began on 80 acres near E-Town.

The facility produces reclaimed water for up to 22,800 customers south of U.S. 1 and within the Nocatee and Twin Creeks communities. A state-of-the-art odor control unit helps minimize odor from the facility.
