As JEA diligently repaired a water main on Philips Highway in the vicinity of Greenland Road all throughout the day, a significant number of customers have been placed under a boil water advisory, which has understandably caused frustration.
Annette Gutierrez, Action News JaxJACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A water main break on Philips Highway near Greenland Road prompted thousands of people to be placed on a boil water advisory.JEA worked quickly and safely to repair it, for most of the day, Tuesday. After nearly 12 hours, crews fixed the water main.
Around 10 a.m., Pawlish and her southside neighbors discovered they had no water in their homes. After eight hours, it finally kicked in. “The size of the water line and its location on our water system means that water pressure is low for customers on the Southside and parts of St. Johns County,” Stowe said. “So we are asking all JEA customers to conserve water.”
“For hurricane season, we always say you have to buy and stock up on water, but in Florida, we hardly ever do that,” Pawlish said. “But for a no-water advisory, we actually have to buy a hurricane amount of water to be prepared.”In addition to the schools on the map, Bartram Springs Elementary, Atlantic Coast High School, and Pine Island Academy, were also affected by the water main break.
