Welcome to Harbour Waterway Special District (HWSD)

The HWSD is a Special Dependent District created by the City Council of Jacksonville, Florida on October 12, 2010.  The district consists of the properties and easements associated with a canal system that is common to four independent neighborhoods in the Fort Caroline area.

The express duties of the District are to maintain the Navigability of our Canal System, to manage our spoil site on Reed Island, and to administer the regulations for the waterway. The district was created to guaranty the routine dredging of the waterway, through the collection of non-ad valorem assessments. 

THE HWSD MEETING SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 8, 2024 WILL START AT 5:00 PM. 

Future meetings will convene at the regular scheduled time - 6:00 pm

The Marina renovation has stopped temporarily due to a permitting issue with the US Army Corp of Engineers.  As soons as the permit issue is resolved, HWSD will resume work which should take less than 30 days to complete construction of the boat ramp.
