Interested property owners will be responsible for paying all JEA connection fees, on-site plumbing costs and obtaining associated permits required to make the connection from your home to JEA’s water line located in the right-of-way. JEA will install a new water meter once connection fees are paid.

The City of Jacksonville understands that not all residents may be able to absorb the costs associated with connecting to the new JEA water system. Federal and/or State affordable housing funds are available through the City’s Housing and Community Development Division Utility Tap-In Program (UTIP).
