Beat the summer heat

Looking for a place to stay cool in the extreme heat? The Downtown Library (225 Taylor Street) is open extended hours now through July 10. Bottled water is available for those in need. 

More helpful tips to stay cool:

• Drink plenty of water (2-4 glasses of water every hour if you are physically active and out in direct heat).
• Wear lightweight, light colored loose fitting clothing as well as a hat and sunglasses when outdoors.
• Always apply sunscreen and limit exposure during mid-day.
• When participating in outdoor activities, do so with a buddy and pace yourself in the heat.
• Always monitor those at risk for heat related illnesses especially those on medications for heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. as they may be affected more by the heat.
• Never leave children, infants or pets inside vehicles.
• Provide pets with plenty of water and shade.

Roseville increases penalties for illegal fireworks

Illegal fireworks carry many risks, including injury, property damage, safety of first responders, costs of responding to emergencies, environmental harm and legal consequences.

In May 2024, the Roseville City Council amended the municipal code, making penalties for those who use illegal fireworks much more severe starting this year.

Penalties for illegal fireworks include stiffer fines, more severe legal consequences, liability for the cost of emergency response and additional responsibility of property owners who knowingly allow the use or storage of illegal fireworks on their property.

Summer energy saving tips

With temperatures expected to be over 100 degrees, energy conservation during peak hours (4-9 p.m.) is crucial.

Raising your AC temperature is one of the most effective ways to save energy. Try setting your thermostat to 78 degrees or higher, if health permits.

Limiting the use of ovens, stoves, dishwashers, and laundry machines; closing your blinds to block the sun's heat; and using ceiling fans that spin counterclockwise are all good ways to help save energy and preserve your home's internal temperature.
