Rivertown Water Treatment Facility Project

A contractor working for JEA (Williams Industrial Services) constructed a new water treatment facility in the Rivertown area. This potable (drinking) water facility now treats, stores, and pumps treated water into JEA’s distribution system, providing water service to northwest St. Johns County. The addition of this water treatment facility allows for future growth in St. Johns County, while providing improved water pressure and system reliability to all of our customers in the area.  

Completion Date: Summer 2023

This project included construction of the water treatment plant (with new storage tank, piping, emergency generator, and pump house), three (3) raw water production wells (two primary wells, one back up well), and raw and finished water pipelines for transferring raw water from the wells to the treatment plant and for transferring finished water from the treatment plant to our distribution system. The piping included the directional drill installation of 18-inch-high density polyethylene (HDPE) piping adjacent to the west side of Longleaf Pine Parkway.  Restoration of the project area took place after work was completed.  

Work primarily occurred on the facility property located at 7612 Longleaf Pine Parkway, and in St. Johns County rights-of-way and utility easements.  Please see the overall project work area map.
