What to check for Jacksonville

JEA is especially strong for irrigation because the residential program explicitly covers irrigation meters, non-meter irrigation, and reclaimed-water irrigation connections.

  • Due basis: JEA runs a two-track system: commercial services are tested annually, while residential irrigation and reclaimed-water protections follow the utility checkup program. Commercial failed tests must be repaired or replaced and retested within 30 days.
  • Who is affected: JEA commercial customers, residential irrigation customers, reclaimed-water users, and certain fire-line services that require backflow protection or testing.
  • Program phone: 904-665-4410
