The Great Jacksonville Cleanup

The Great Jacksonville Cleanup was a huge success this year! Thank you to the 55+ volunteers who came out to participate in the Community Cleanup and gathered more than 300 bags of trash from around the City. Thank you to the Public and Community Services crew who kept the dropoff location well organized and helped people unload their bulky items. We had so much dropped off, we are still counting! See you next year!!!

Growing Pains

We are blessed in Jacksonville to have some amazing development and redevelopment all across town. Momentum is building and there is more to come. From new businesses coming to town, old businesses saved, fiber optic high speed internet, replacement of natural gas service lines, street overlays, new sewer and water lines, and so much more. This progress does bring growing pains. In the month of March alone, we have had over 75 requests to locate our sewer and water lines to mitigate damage during construction by third party crews. Unfortunately, infrastructure conflicts and damage is unavoidable.

Thank you to our water department for their hard work and dedication to ensure water and wastewater disruptions are minimal and/or repaired quickly. Thank you to the community for patience and understanding as we experience these water, wastewater and traffic disruptions together.
