City of Roseville

Help prevent street flooding by removing leaves and keeping storm drains clear. Please keep leaf bags/piles at least three feet from parked cars, and away from the gutter and storm drain inlets.

Place fallen leaves in your green waste bin, or bag your leaves and place them in your regular refuse bin.

From November to mid-January, use Roseville's complimentary curbside leaf pickup service. 

Keep an emergency kit with a battery operated radio, flashlights, extra batteries and a first-aid kit.

Stock easy-to-open prepared foods, a can opener, bottled water and pet food in case of a power outage. Keep extra blankets and warm clothes in a safe dry place.

If you use an electric generator, be sure it is installed properly otherwise you put your property and utility workers lives at risk.

Power outages may occur during stormy weather. To report or confirm an outage, visit roseville.ca.us/outages.
If you live outside the City of Roseville, contact Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).

The City of Roseville opens sandbag pickup locations when creeks are predicted to cause flooding. Sandbags are not provided simply because heavy rains are predicted. Visit roseville.ca.us/sandbags for the current status. 

City staff monitors the weather and evaluates how predicted rain may affect the city. Roseville has a robust drainage system designed to handle large storm events. Many homes and businesses have been designed and built to be ‘high and dry’ during most storms. If conditions dictate, sandbag stations will be opened.

If you observe local drainage issues, you’re encouraged to report them. Contact Public Works – Street Maintenance by calling (916) 774-5790 during business hours, or Police and Fire non-emergency dispatch at (916) 774-5000, option #1 after business hours.

To have sandbags readily available for your property, you may pick up supplies at your local home improvement store.

If you are located outside of Roseville city limits, view the status of sandbag availability in Placer County.  

Trails, particularly in low-lying areas, are subject to flooding and temporary closures due to storms. 

Never enter an area that's under water. 

View current trail closures. 

There is a natural curiosity to want to view first-hand the rising water conditions. BE SAFE.

Rising water is dangerous. Stay away from the water and off levees. Pedestrians and vehicles on levees are prohibited, pose a danger to the public, and hinder the efforts of emergency response and flood monitors.

Do not walk through flowing water or drive through flooded areas.

Do not drive during a storm unless necessary. Turn on your headlights when it is raining. Slow down on wet streets.
