Watering days shift this month due to continued drought conditions 

With the warmer weather it is tempting to increase your outdoor watering. But our plants and grass don’t require as much water now as they do during the much hotter summer months. And with the shortage of winter rains, we still need to conserve water.

From March 1 – April 30, Roseville residents may irrigate their landscapes on Mondays and Fridays, after 8 p.m. and before 10 a.m.

Non-residential properties may irrigate on Mondays and Thursdays during the same hours, respectively. Drip irrigation systems are exempt from these restrictions.

For more information on water conservation, including water-wise tips, visit roseville.ca.us/savewater.

Groundwater is an essential part of our water supply strategy

For more than 20 years, Roseville has invested in a groundwater program to increase water supply reliability. Much like your personal stock portfolio, having diversity in your water supplies ensures you have a go-to resource regardless of water supply conditions.

Our groundwater wells serve dual purposes: we can bank and store excess surface water supplies for later and extract when we need to. This is called Aquifer Storage and Recovery, and this year, for example, we replenished the ground with 160 Olympic-sized pools that will be used to offset supplies at Folsom Lake.

You may qualify for bill assistance

Due to a recent change in income requirements, even more residents are eligible for electric bill assistance.

With the Electric Rate Assistance Program, qualified residents can receive a 15% monthly discount on their electric bill. In 2021, income requirements were adjusted to better serve the community, providing potential savings for additional Roseville residents.

To find out if you qualify, visit roseville.ca.us/assistance or call our customer service team at (916) 774-5300.

Charge ahead and choose electric 

Electric vehicles (EVs) are simple to charge, inexpensive to fuel and fun to drive. And, as a Roseville resident, the benefits really add up.

The cost of electricity for Roseville customers to charge an EV is much less than the cost of gasoline. 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.
