Visited on 6/25/2018 after giving an examination to a Wastewater Treatment Plant operator near Fallbrook, California. The El Capitan Reservoir was created in 1935 with the completion of the El Capitan Dam. That same year the reservoir was connected to the City's water system via the El Capitan Pipeline. Located approximately 30 miles northeast of downtown San Diego, on the San Diego River, El Capitan had the largest capacity in the City reservoir system until the San Vicente Dam Raise Project was completed in 2015. When full, the reservoir has 1,562 surface acres, a maximum water depth of 197 feet, and 22 miles of shoreline. El Capitan Reservoir is 750 feet above sea level. Water levels are monitored weekly.
Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and
at least 50 feet away from the water. Dogs are not allowed on any boats. There
is no camping allowed at El Capitan.
