Ponce de Leon Water/Wastewater Treatment Facility Improvement Project

JEA has completed the process of replacing our Ponce de Leon Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located at 3152 South Ponte Vedra Boulevard. This facility had reached the end of its useful life and must be rehabilitated or replaced to keep the facility reliable and structurally sound. The upgraded facility will be more efficient and reliable. 

This project included building a new wastewater treatment package plant, followed by demolition of the existing treatment plant and finally, restoration of the project area. 

The construction primarily took place behind the fenced areas of the facility. However, nearby residents may have noticed increased truck traffic in the area while equipment was being delivered. While most work took place during daytime hours, occasional early morning or evening work was required during the demolition, concrete installation and water tie-in portion of the project

JEA has recently completed the first phase of a $2 million dollar project to upgrade the water treatment facility also located at 3152 South Ponte Vedra Boulevard. This facility has a water treatment capacity of over 865,000 gallons per day (GPD) and is supplied by two (2) existing Floridan aquifer wells that serve the area. The first phase of this project included the installation of a new water reservoir, treatment facility control center and pump house.

The current and final phase of work includes the demolition of the existing ground storage tank (completed), building of a new storage tank, installing a new pipe system and final site restoration improvements. This upgraded plant will be more efficient, reliable, and provide increased water pressure and flow to the area.
