Rolf sewer system under construction near Ross Oklahoma
Machinery roared and dirt flew as construction began on the new Rolf sewer system at the northeast corner of Roff. Paris Construction Co. of Tulsa is contracted to lay seven and a half miles of sewer line from disposal pits on land owned by K P Larsh and Alvin Mereal, with two lines east and west of town and a branch south along the east side. Sewell Construction Co. of Tishomingo builds the two pits on 12 acres. Citizens approved a $98 1800 bond in August 1961 by a strong election margin to fund the project, engineers note a 100 foot elevation drop eliminating the need for booster pumps. Waste will gravitate to pits rather than be pumped.
