McMillan Street Sewer Improvement Project
Estimated Dates & Work Schedule
Anticipated End Date: 2026-07-31
Regular Work Hours: Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.*
*In some circumstances, night and weekend work may be required.
Project Objective
JEA contractor crews (Ferreira Construction) are continuing work in your area to replace and rehabilitate a portion of sanitary sewer force main and manhole located on W. 13th Street between McMillan Street and Fairfax Street. This section of sewer main and manhole have reached the end of their useful service lives and are proactively being replaced to ensure the reliability of the sewer service that serves your neighborhood.
Sanitary sewer force mains are pressurized sewer pipes used to transport sewage to JEA wastewater treatment plants. Failures to sewer mains and manholes can potentially cause major sewer back-ups, environmental harm and roadway issues.
Construction Conditions
This segment of the sewer line installation will be completed using the cured in place pipe (CIPP) method of construction. This method is less disruptive to neighborhoods than the traditional open-cut method of replacing sewer lines, and the overall project duration is typically shorter.

Project Update - December 2025
Due to a minor delay in material delivery, construction will be temporarily paused. The contractor will ensure all open work areas remain safe and accessible until work resumes. Crews will continue to monitor the site for safety, and no work will take place on holidays (December 24/25 or January 1).
Temporary Road Closures - August 2025 to July 2026
For the safety of both crews and the public, the current road closures and detours on McMillan Street between W. 13th Street and Pullman Avenue will remain in place while crews complete this work. We apologize in advance for any noise disruptions or inconvenience caused by this work. Please see the work area map below.
