City crews working on storm clean-up, some trails remain closed
City crews will be working into next week cleaning up the impacts of the heavy rain and wind from the past week. To report road hazards due to the storms, call Roseville Public Works at (916) 774-5790 during normal business hours. After hours or on weekends, call (916) 774-5000 x 1.
Our creek and flood control systems worked as intended in handling the amount of rain effectively. The City has invested $32 million since the 1980’s to improve our flood control infrastructure. Roseville holds FEMA’s highest flood protection rating.
With no heavy rain in the immediate forecast, the city’s sandbag locations are closed.
As of Tuesday evening, all Roseville Electric customers have power.
The trail south of Saugstad Park to Darling Way is closed until further notice to conduct emergency improvements to protect the creek and a large sewer pipeline. The Miner's Ravine Trail and False Ravine Trail are temporarily closed. Other low-lying trails may have standing water and be subject to closures.
Placer County storm damage survey
Have you experienced damage to your property due to the 2022/2023 winter storms?
The Placer County Office of Emergency Services is collecting damage information to help advocate for financial assistance from the federal government to affected residents.
Banking water for the future
With this significant rainfall, Roseville is storing nearly 60 million gallons of excess water within the aquifers for use during dry conditions.
We are recharging the groundwater basin using specifically designed groundwater wells. Folsom Reservoir has quickly gained a substantial amount of water with the recent storms. Water releases are needed from the reservoir for flood control. We are capturing water that would have otherwise been lost.
There may be further opportunities to store more water in the aquifers over the coming weeks depending on the need to create additional winter flood capacity at Folsom Reservoir.
Diversifying water sources remains key for meeting future demand
Population growth, regulatory updates and the effects of climate change are just a few of the factors impacting the region's growing imbalance between water supply and consumer demand, according to a new American River Basin study.
Roseville has put in place several key strategies to ensure reliable water supply now and into the future. Among these strategies includes investment in groundwater wells, partnering with Placer County Water Agency on new infrastructure and studying alternative intake possibilities at the Folsom Reservoir.
