Blanding Boulevard Pump Station Improvement Project
Project Objective
A contractor working for JEA (Ferreira Construction Company) completed work on a project to relocate and upgrade the existing sanitary sewer pump station located at 7707 Blanding Boulevard.
The objective of this project was to build a new pump station that would upgrade the station’s components and accommodate future growth in the area. Sanitary sewer pump stations are designed to collect wastewater from gravity sewer mains which is then transported to our sewer treatment facilities.
This project was done to ensure the reliability of the sanitary sewer system that serves the neighborhood.
Construction Conditions
Work occurred on the JEA property and in City of Jacksonville roads, rights-of-way and utility easements. Residents and businesses may have noticed increased construction traffic and materials at the pump station site. There was some noise associated with this construction and during the demolition of the old pump station.
This project did not impact normal JEA electric, water, or sewer service.
Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area began after the project has been completed. Any existing grass, sprinklers, pavement, curb, gutter, driveways and/or sidewalks affected during construction were returned to its pre-construction condition.
