COVID-19 masking update

The California Department of Public Health announced that beginning today, masks will not be required but are strongly recommended for unvaccinated people in most indoor settings.

Masks are still required for everyone in these public settings: public transit, health care settings, emergency shelters, correctional facilities, homeless shelters and long-term care facilities.

After March 11, masks will no longer be required in schools and childcare facilities, regardless of vaccination status.

Watering days shift this month to face 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.

Final City Council district map approved

The Roseville Independent Redistricting Commission approved the final City Council district map at its public meeting February 28. The map will define the City Council district boundaries for the next 10 years.

The Independent Redistricting Commission was empowered by Roseville voters to adopt the district boundaries without City Council approval. The City Council cannot amend or change the map.

At the annual City Council Priorities Workshop last week, all five City Councilmembers reaffirmed the approach that although they are elected by district, each is committed to serving all of Roseville.

See a high resolution version of the final map here.

Roseville and Placer County perform yearly homeless count 

The City of Roseville Homeless Response Team, which includes Roseville Police Social Services Unit and the Roseville Housing Division, was among a collaborative group of agencies and nonprofit organizations from Placer County conducting an annual point-in-time count of the homeless February 24.

The point-in-time count is done to gather information about our local homeless population, assess local needs for services, and to track progress of housing and other supportive programs. The results of the survey are expected to be available this summer.

Visit Roseville.ca.us/homelessness for additional information about services for those in need and our comprehensive Homeless Response Team.

New statewide drought emergency water conservation regulations in place

California recently approved new emergency water conservation measures to stretch and manage water supplies during continued drought conditions.

Although California received record rainfall and snowfall to close 2021, we still only have 58% of the precipitation needed for the year. Also, not all reservoirs have rebounded and are still lower than needed as we approach the summer months.

As a result, these mandates are effective mid-January for one year unless extended by the State.

Electric rate adjustment begins this month

Roseville Electric Utility’s rate adjustment will go into effect starting with January bills. For the average residential household, this will equate to an increase of approximately $4 per month in 2022.

The adjustment, which is the first rate increase in over seven years, was approved by the Roseville City Council in November. The adjustment is necessary due to an increase in the cost of delivering utility services, from meeting changing regulatory requirements to maintaining our workforce.

For more information, visit roseville.ca.us/rates.

Cozy up to energy savings 

Staying comfortable while saving energy is important no matter the season. 

Here are some simple, cool-weather conservation tips:

• Keep vents open and air flowing. Closing doors and room vents puts extra strain on the central heating system.
• Open drapes and shades on sunny days to let in heat from the sun; close them at night and on cloudy days.
• And, set your thermostat to 68 degrees and lower it to 55 degrees at night or when you’re away from home. Remember that if you lower your thermostat by two degrees during the winter, you can save about 10% on the operating cost of your heater.

For additional ways to save, visit roseville.ca.us/lowermybill.

Start the New Year with a resolution to use water wisely

WaterSense-labeled fixtures can make it an easy resolution to keep.

The WaterSense-label is given to products that have been independently certified to be 20 percent more water-efficient than average products in that category and perform just as well or better.
