Watering days shift to three days a week

Watering days shift from two days a week to three this month, recognizing that as the summer months approach more water is needed to keep landscapes healthy and thriving.

• Landscape watering may only occur three days per week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
• Landscape watering at businesses and other non-residential sites may only occur on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday.
• Watering restrictions do not apply to drip irrigation systems.

Tips for managing your outdoor irrigation.

Roseville hotel to be converted into permanent housing for homeless with state funding 

The California Department of Housing and Community Development has awarded Placer County $23.5 million in highly competitive funding as part of the Homekey 2.0 program.

The funding is for the intended purchase of the Hampton Inn & Suites Roseville to be converted as permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness.

The hotel would have 82 residential units which will be managed by AMI Housing, a local nonprofit provider also providing supportive services.

“Since mid-2020, this particular hotel has contracted with Placer County to house our most vulnerable residents, with much success and very little fanfare,” said Roseville Mayor Krista Bernasconi. “This will create long term, safe housing with on-site services for residents, which we know is critical to their future.”

Mulch Mayhem is this Saturday

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

Each Roseville water customer can pick up one cubic yard of mulch for FREE. If you have a truck, we will load it for you with our loader.

Visit here for time, location, and more information on taking this step toward a water-wise landscape.
