JEA is monitoring the path of Hurricane Ian, ensuring the utility’s readiness ahead of the storm.
Starting Tuesday, JEA will temporarily suspend customer disconnections for non-payment, the utility said.
JEA said it has worked throughout the year to prepare for severe weather in a number of ways, including: Storm hardening: JEA has made significant investments to harden our electric, water and sewer systems to make them more resistant to storm-related disruptions. These critical repairs and improvements help us restore power and return to normal operations more quickly after a major storm
Year-round tree trimming: While strong winds and heavy rains cause their share of storm damage, most storm-related power outages result from tree branches falling on power lines. Water & sewer upgrades: The utility has made significant investments in upgrading our water and sewer facilities, and has installed backup generators to reduce the risk of storm-related service interruptions.
