Need mulch? Come get some on May 14! It helps save water by slowing evaporation, moderating soil temperature, controlling weeds – and it looks great.

Big Trucks Summer returns

After two years of virtual Big Trucks, we are ready to show off our fleet of utility vehicles in person again!

Each big truck event will be held Thursdays in June from 9 - 11 a.m. and will feature truck demonstrations, truck exploration, games, and activities. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet utility employees and learn about utility services and programs.

More details are available at roseville.ca.us/bigtrucks.

Charge ahead with the purchase of an EV 

With gas prices skyrocketing, now is the time to think about an electric vehicle (EV).

The cost of electricity for Roseville customers to charge an EV is much less than the cost of gasoline. In fact, residential electricity rates are the equivalent of approximately $1 per gallon.

In addition to lower fuel costs, EV owners can expect lower maintenance costs, no oil changes, and the convenience of charging your vehicle at home. Plus, we offer vehicle and charging incentives for both residential and commercial customers.
