2
Pump Station and Roll Reservoir site. It was indicated that Roll Reservoir was placed
in service in the late 1950’s and in 1967 it was named after Mr. Fritz Roll who was an
Otay WD board member from 1956 to 1967. It was indicated that the construction
project will replace the existing 870 high-head and low-head pump stations with a new
pump station which will include new recirculating pumps with chlorination injection
capabilities. The project will also remove and replace the Roll Reservoir liner and
cover. The group viewed the construction of the new 30-inch recirculation outlet
structure and the new 66-inch pump station inlet structure for the Roll reservoir and the
reservoir itself. They also viewed the existing pump station and the location where the
new pump station will be built. Staff and Mr. Cook responded to inquiries and the
board and staff returned to the District’s office at 4:26 p.m.
