Help conserve during extreme heat
Roseville Electric is urging customers to continue conservation efforts as extreme heat drives electricity demand. Residents and businesses alike can reduce their energy usage with simple adjustments like bumping thermostats up to 78 degrees or higher and turning off unnecessary lighting. Conservation helps lower demand and avoid outages, as well as reduce the duration of an outage.
We have a number of resources available to ensure you are receiving the most up-to-date information and conservation tips.
Extended hours to keep you cool
With the ongoing high temperatures, we are extending hours at the Downtown Library to help you stay cool.
The Downtown Library will be open from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. Tuesday, September 6 through Friday, September 9.
Surcharge workshop postponed to September 14
Roseville Electric is postponing a proposed energy surcharge workshop to next week. Due to extreme heat throughout the region, we are moving the workshop from September 6 to September 14.
The proposed surcharge is in response to unprecedented drought and a substantial reduction in hydroelectric resources in addition to skyrocketing fuel prices.
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.
Due to an overwhelming response, Cash for Grass and toilet rebates are currently postponed. However, you can join our waitlist at waterrebates@roseville.ca.us.
Outdoor efficiency rebates remain available to improve your existing in-ground irrigation systems and automatic timers.
Planning for future water supply and delivery
A new study on changing weather patterns reaffirms the need to modernize and diversify water supply, storage and delivery infrastructure. Rising temperatures and reduced snow pack are among the predictions of the American River Basin Study, recently published by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
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.
