Owen Avenue Water Improvement Project
Project Objective
As part of the Small Diameter Pipe Replacement Program to modernize more than 200 miles of JEA’s existing potable water distribution system, a contractor working for JEA (Petticoat-Schmitt Civil Contractors) completed work in your area to replace and upgrade portions of the water lines on Owen Avenue, Gilmore Street and Dellwood Avenue.
Completion Date: March 2023
These pipes were approaching 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 was completed to increase water pressure and create fewer unplanned water repairs and unplanned water outages in the area.
Construction Conditions
For the safety of our crews and the general public, there were times when roads were temporarily closed to thru traffic while crews were installing the new water lines. Please see the work area map below. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this construction work.
Planned Water Outages
Some customers may have experienced minor interruptions to their water service. JEA will notify customers at least 48 hours prior to any planned water outages.
Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area began after the new water main was installed, tested, and cleared for use. Any existing pavement, grass, curb, gutter, driveways or sidewalks affected during construction was returned to its pre-construction condition.
