Watering days shift to three days a week

Beginning May 1, watering days shift from two days a week to three, 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.”

Oil filter exchange every day in May

During the entire month of May, Placer County residents can take their used oil filter to participating Auto Zone or O’Reilly Auto Parts stores and exchange it for a new one!

DYK? A used oil filter is entirely recyclable. In California, we generate 67 million used motor filters per year, which are banned from landfills. However, they contain about a pound of reusable steel each!

Find a location near you.
