Watch the 2022 State of the City address

If you were unable to attend the 2022 State of the City address by Mayor Krista Bernasconi on August 26, you can watch it or read the text of the speech here.

Mayor Bernasconi dedicated the address to Sgt. Nicole Gee and Corporal Gurpreet Singh, both from Roseville. Sgt. Gee was one of 13 killed in a terrorist attack in Afghanistan as she evacuated families at the airport in Kabul on August 26, 2021. Corporal Singh died at the age of 21 from injuries conducting combat operations in Afghanistan. 

Workshop to discuss proposed energy surcharge

These are challenging times for the electric utility industry, especially here in California. Our state is grappling with unprecedented drought and a substantial reduction in hydroelectric resources in addition to skyrocketing fuel prices. These factors are causing a significant and rapid increase in costs.

Roseville Electric is proposing a temporary surcharge to address these challenges. This approach gives us more time to understand if the energy price spikes we are currently experiencing is transitory or part of a more durable trend in the energy markets. Join us at an upcoming workshop on September 6 to learn more.

Watering days shift to two days per week 

Watering days will shift from three days to two days per week on September 1 to manage ongoing drought conditions. The new schedule lasts until October 31.

Residential customers can water on Mondays and Fridays. Commercial customers can water on Mondays and Thursdays. Customers using drip irrigation are not subject to watering days.

Happy National Water Quality Month

National Water Quality Month reminds us of the value of clean, high-quality water –  and how to protect it. We source your drinking water primarily from surface water resources at Folsom Lake that comes from snowpack from the Sierra Nevada mountains. We also use groundwater to ensure we have a go-to resource no matter the water supply conditions.

Our detailed annual water quality report describes how we test your water and ensures that it meets – and exceeds --  both state and federal standards.

Check out our latest report to learn more about drinking water and water sources.
