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 replaced and upgraded portions of the water lines on Willow Branch Avenue, from Post Street to Roosevelt Street, Rubel Street from Post Street to College Street, and Willow Branch Avenue from Gilmore Street to Rayford Street.
These pipes 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 will provide increased water pressure, fewer unplanned water repairs, and fewer unplanned water outages in the area.
Construction Conditions
Construction primarily occurred in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way, roads, and easements.

Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area typically begins 2-3 weeks after the new water main has been installed, tested and cleared for use. Any existing pavement, grass, curb, gutter, driveways or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
