Project Objective

As part of the Galvanized Pipe Replacement Program to modernize more than 200 miles of JEA’s existing potable water distribution system, JEA crews replaced and upgraded portions of the water lines on Columbus Avenue from Erie Avenue to Niagara Avenue, and Niagara Avenue from Lowell Avenue to Commonwealth Avenue.

This work included the installation of two (2) new fire hydrants. This project will provide increased water pressure, enhanced fire protection and improved system reliability. 

Construction Conditions

Construction primarily occurred in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way, roads, and easements.

Restoration of the Project Area

Restoration of the project area typically begins 2-3 weeks after the project has been completed. Any existing grass, sprinklers, pavement, curb, gutter, driveways and/or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
