From Zap Pow to H2 whoa!: A Brief History of JEA
JEA, my friends, stands for Jacksonville Electric Authority. Yes, it originally focused on keeping your fridge humming and the lights on. But JEA, being a Floridian go-getter, decided to expand its repertoire. In 1997, they took on the responsibility of supplying the city's water and wastewater treatment. Basically, JEA's got your whole home environment covered, from keeping the lights bright to, well, let's just say, keeping things flowing smoothly.
Fun Fact: JEA wasn't always JEA. Back in the day, it was known as the Jacksonville Electric Department. But in 1967, they shed their departmental skin and became the independent force we know today.
So, What Does JEA Do Exactly?
Think of JEA as the silent (well, except for the occasional power line hum) guardian of your creature comforts. They're the folks behind:
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
- Keeping your electricity flowing like a Florida spring
- Delivering crystal clear water to your faucet (because nobody wants swamp water in their morning coffee)
- Ensuring your wastewater gets treated... responsibly (thank you, JEA!)
Basically, JEA is the ultimate utility squad, keeping Jacksonville juiced, hydrated, and, ahem, functional.
