Water and Sewer Permitting

1. Submit an Availability Request and you will receive an availability letter.
2. Submit signed and sealed construction drawings to the JEA Plan Review department for review along other required documents as outlined in the Water Sewer Design Guidelines.
3. If necessary, make any changes to the design drawings and resubmit them to the JEA Plan Review for final review and acceptance.
4. If approved, applications will be forwarded by the JEA Plan Review department to Environmental Services, where your permit will be issued. Once the permit is issued, JEA Environmental Services will notify the design engineer that the permit is available for pick-up from the JEA Tower on the 8th Floor.
    

1. Make sure the JEA Construction Inspector has a copy of the as-built drawings and has also approved construction.
2. Submit a JEA Certification of Completion package to JEA Environmental Services, JEA Tower, 8th Floor. The Certification of Completion package must include:
• One (1) signed and sealed JEA Certification of Completion application
• Two (2) consecutive days of passing bacteriological test results that are less than sixty (60) days old (water permits only)
• Pressure test results (water permits and force mains only)
• As-built drawings. Please note: If there were substantial deviations from the permitted construction drawings, the as-builts must be signed and sealed by the overseeing professional engineer for the project. If there were no substantial deviations, then either the professional engineer of record, licensed surveyor or contractor may sign the drawings. Please ensure that all water and sewer line crossing separations are clearly shown on the drawings.
3. Once a completed Release Application is received, JEA Environmental Services will issue a release letter for the project and fax and mail the letter to the engineer who signed and sealed the certification application.
4. If a project is being dedicated to JEA for ownership, then an acceptance package must be submitted. Please review and submit the JEA Acceptance Checklist with all acceptance packages.
