NOCATEE, Fla. – JEA announced the launch of a program to improve the supply of reclaimed water for customers in the Nocatee community.
According to JEA, this program was launched in response to concerns from customers about last year’s reclaimed water supply and pressure challenges.

“As a community-focused utility, we are committed to delivering reliable reclaimed water service while promoting responsible water use. This program will ensure Nocatee residents have the irrigation water they need, while also supporting the long-term sustainability of our water resources” JEA Chief Water Systems Officer Robert Zammataro said.
To maximize water availability this spring and summer, JEA, with the support of the St. Johns River Water Management District, will implement a modified watering schedule for Nocatee residents in Duval and St. Johns counties.
The new schedule, which is set to begin on April 7, is designed to conserve groundwater and reclaimed water.
These are the key changes:
New assigned watering days: Nocatee customers will have two designated watering days per week, but those days will be assigned by zone rather than street address number. Both even- and odd-numbered addresses within each zone will follow the same schedule.
Non-watering days: To maintain sufficient reclaimed water pressure for all customers, irrigation with reclaimed water will be unavailable for two days per week on non-watering days. Each zone will observe different non-watering days. This will help balance system demand and ensure a more reliable supply during peak usage times.
The modified schedule will remain in effect through Nov. 2, 2025, after which customers will return to the standard watering restrictions approved by SJRWMD and implemented at a local level.
