About the cover: A view from the back of a rig from Rottman
Drilling Co. at a jobsite at a ranch in Santa Clarita, California.
The well replacement was drilled 610 feet and marked the last well
for Rottman as it ceased operation and began selling its equip-
ment after the job. In addition to irrigating the ranch, the well
supplies water for Los Angeles County fire-fighting crews in times
of need—like earlier this summer. Rottman, which was located
in Lancaster, California, was in business for nearly 90 years and
three generations. Rottman did well drilling and pump installation,
well maintenance, well rehabilitation, and more. Photo submitted
