Anticipated End Date: 2023-11-30

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 upgraded and replaced portions of the existing water lines on Lancaster Street from Riverside Avenue to the dead end of Lancaster Street, and Riverside Park Place from Oak Street to Riverside Avenue.
These pipes had approached the end of their useful service lives and were proactively replaced to ensure the reliability of the JEA water system in the area. This project also included the installation of one (1) new fire hydrant. 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.
