Help conserve during extreme heat 

Roseville Electric is urging customers to continue conservation efforts as extreme heat drives electricity demand.

We have a number of resources available to ensure you are receiving the most up-to-date information and conservation tips.

Update on water-saving rebates

As we continue to manage drought impacts, we appreciate your commitment to retrofitting your lawns to a more water-wise landscape and reducing indoor use with our toilet rebates.

Outdoor efficiency rebates remain available to improve your existing in-ground irrigation systems and automatic timers.

Planning for future water supply and delivery

Roseville continues to develop groundwater infrastructure for collecting and storing early rainfall as an alternative supply during dry seasons. The City is also looking at ways to modernize and diversify water delivery infrastructure.

Workshop to discuss proposed energy surcharge

These factors are causing a significant and rapid increase in costs.

Roseville Electric is proposing a temporary surcharge to address these challenges. This approach gives us more time to understand if the energy price spikes we are currently experiencing is transitory or part of a more durable trend in the energy markets. Join us at an upcoming workshop on September 6 to learn more.

Emergency notification testing this Thursday

On Thursday, August 25, Roseville along with 12 other cities, 3 Counties and 1 Tribal Nation will exercise the Regional Mass Notification System. The primary objective of this exercise is to test the Regional Mass Notification system’s capability, capacity and effectiveness to deliver emergency notifications to the public during times of a major disaster. 

The test will be inclusive of those that have opted into the local Emergency Alert system (cell, landline and email) and the residential landlines in the 911 data system. The test alert will display on phones as 833-422-5253 – residents can now save this number in their phone as “Emergency Alert” so they recognize critical alerts. 

The test will also use the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) System, a federal emergency system that uses geographically drawn boundaries to alert people in specific areas. A WEA alert causes cell phones to vibrate and omit a different tone than a ringing phone - much like an Amber Alert. 

Watering days shift to two days per week 

Watering days will shift from three days to two days per week on September 1 to manage ongoing drought conditions. The new schedule lasts until October 31.

New radio communications tower to serve critical city operations 

To better serve emergency and critical city operations, the City of Roseville is planning to build a new radio communications tower in east Roseville.

The City’s radio system handles approximately 1.5 million transmissions per year.

Please keep our recycling sites clean and operational

Although we encourage residences to toss everything in their trash bin, we also have other alternatives to recycle things like flattened cardboard, newspapers, bottles, and more at drop off locations in Roseville. These sites are designated for these recyclable items, not trash. We have noticed some of our recycling drop-off areas being littered with illegal dumping. If you see illegal dumping occurring, please contact us at (916) 774-5780.  

Help us keep these sites clean and operational by keeping them trash-free and flattening your cardboard before unloading, as this is a free benefit to Roseville residents. 

Where does your trash go after it leaves your home? 

Trash and recycling can build up pretty quickly. Thanks to our waste services division, it is picked up, separated, and disposed of properly. But where exactly does it go when it leaves your home?

Annually, our drivers pick up about 130,000 tons of waste and takes it to the Materials Recovery Facility – known as the MRF (pronounced MURF). The MRF receives, separates, and prepares materials to sell for recycling using a combination of equipment and labor.
