Recreational swimming at RAC by reservation only

The Roseville Aquatics Complex (RAC) is open for the season on May 28 by reservation only. Construction delays on the recreation and play pools means swimming is restricted to the competition pool which has limited space, resulting in the need for reservations. While the entire complex won’t be open on Memorial Day weekend, we hope to open more pool amenities soon (as construction permits). Reservations will be available each week on Mondays for the upcoming weekend.

The Mike Shellito Indoor Pool continues to offer recreation swim on the weekends. Summer hours at the Mike Shellito Indoor Pool and Johnson Pool begin on June 13.

Simple tips to save energy and stay cool

It's heating up. We have simple steps you can take to save energy and money as we head into the hot summer months.

• Be window wise – When the temperature drops at night, open your windows to cool down you your home. In the morning, shut the windows and blinds to capture that cool air.
• Set your thermostat – While you’re home, set the thermostat to 78°. Also, avoid setting your thermostat to a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling and unnecessary expense.
• Check your water heater – Water heating accounts for about 18% of the energy consumed in your home. Turn down the temperature to 120° in the summer months.

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.”

World's Largest Steam Locomotive 'Big Boy No. 4014' visit postponed 

Union Pacific announced plans to postpone the Big Boy No. 4014’s West Coast Steam Tour to focus its efforts on easing supply chain congestion. The tour had been scheduled to depart Cheyenne, Wyoming, June 26.

“We know many rail enthusiasts make travel plans and communities prepare to act as host, which is why we made this decision now,” said Scott Moore, Union Pacific Senior Vice President – Corporate Relations and Chief Administrative Officer. “We have a duty to continue our efforts to reduce supply chain congestion and provide customers the service they deserve; given the impact of a steam tour on our operations that focus must be our priority.”

Union Pacific will communicate updated plans for a steam tour once service performance levels return to normal.

Roseville hosts wastewater industry experts for hands-on learning 

In mid-April, more than 1,300 people attended the California Water Environment Association (CWEA) annual conference in Sacramento.

Potential strategies emerge from Placer’s regional effort to respond to homelessness 

A variety of potential strategies are beginning to emerge from Phase I of a regional effort to develop options that address homelessness in the mid and south Placer region.

A list of potential strategies has been developed for further exploration and included in the Placer Homelessness Response Emerging Strategies Phase 1 Report. The report identifies a framework and over a dozen potential strategies to mitigate homelessness impacts.

Watch the presentation about the preliminary findings given at last week's City Council meeting.

Find out more about the effort.

What are those loud “boom” sounds in and around Roseville?

Have you heard loud 'booms' in and around Roseville, especially in the evening?

According to the Placer County Agricultural Commissioner's Office, several farms northwest of Roseville have been using a tool called a 'bird scare cannon' to keep geese from destroying this year’s crop.

The cannon, or zon gun, is a small, propane-fired device that emits 'thunderclaps' to frighten off birds. It does not fire a projectile and is a standard agricultural practice and harmless to the animals. These were used about this time last year as well.

A variety of potential strategies are beginning to emerge from Phase I of a regional effort to develop options that address homelessness in the mid and south Placer region.

Two strategy response groups have been meeting since Sept. 2021 to review existing conditions and spotlight emerging priorities. One of the strategy response groups is an ad hoc committee made up of two elected leaders each from the county and its five cities and one town. That committee is supported by a cross-jurisdictional steering group tasked with providing process oversight.

Preliminarily, a list of potential strategies has been developed for further exploration and included in the Placer Homelessness Response Emerging Strategies Phase 1 Report. The report identifies a framework and over a dozen potential strategies to mitigate homelessness impacts.

An informational presentation with the preliminary findings will be made at the Roseville City Council meeting at 6 p.m., Wednesday, March 16. Presentations will also be made in Lincoln, Rocklin, Auburn, and Loomis in the near future.

How to prepare for a power outage

While power outages in Roseville are rare, there are steps you can take to help “weather” any storm.

• Keep your cell phones charged, some extra cash on hand and your gas tank at least half full.
• Plan for batteries and other alternatives to meet your needs when the power goes out.
• Review the supplies that are available in case of a power outage, including flashlights, nonperishable food, and water.

To report a power outage, visit our outage map at roseville.ca.us/outages or call (916) 79-POWER.

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 new vehicle and charging incentives for both residential and commercial customers.

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.
