Watering days shift to one day per week

As we move into the fall and winter months, watering days are shifting from two days a week to one, starting November 1. Both commercial and residential customers can water on Mondays before 10 a.m. or after 8 p.m.

Remember to check your soil moisture before you water. Research tells us that people often decide to water their yards just by looking at their plants or if the weather is hot and dry. The result is that often people overwater, applying more than their lawn and plants need. The only way to know is to check soil moisture with a moisture meter or dig down with a hand shovel to determine soil moisture. 

Easier access to City finances and budget now available through Open Budget 

Expanding on our relaunched open data portal, Open Roseville, the City has launched Open Budget with detailed data dedicated specifically to the City’s budget and finances.

“Open Budget is a cornerstone of our commitment to transparency. It will give our residents a better understanding of the City’s revenues and spending in a user-friendly, interactive and informative way,” said Dominick Casey, Roseville City Manager.

Roseville’s Open Budget can be found at budget.roseville.ca.us.

Learn more about Measure C, a hotel and lodging tax measure on the November ballot

Measure C proposes an increase in the hotel and lodging tax paid by visitors staying in hotels and short-term rentals in Roseville from 6 percent to 10 percent.

Roseville’s hotel tax was last updated 47 years ago, in 1975. Roseville currently has the lowest hotel tax in the six-county region and one of the lowest in the state. An increase of 4% would add about $5 to the cost of a $125 room stay. And generate about $3 million a year for any municipal purpose including essential services and infrastructure used by visitors.

Ready your rakes for Curbside Leaf Pickup 

Changing of the seasons means curbside leaf pickup is underway and continues through January 13.

Roseville's free curbside leaf pickup service helps prevent fallen front yard leaves from clogging stormwater drains and washing into our creeks and streams, disturbing the sensitive ecological balance and threatening plants and wildlife.

Energy saving tips you really Autumn know

Saving energy and money can be easy and inexpensive. These tips can help you conserve energy and save money this fall season, without compromising your comfort:

• Water heating consumes up to 20% of total household energy use (energy.gov). Adjust your water heater temperature to 120°F and wash your clothes in cold water and try only running full loads.
• Heating the house makes up about 29% of the average household utility bill (energy.gov). Replace your HVAC air filter monthly, or at least every 3 months, and check your ducts.
