With stormy weather forecasted for our region, City of Roseville crews are on alert and ready to respond to rapidly changing conditions.
City Public Works crews continuously monitor creek levels and incoming storm models. Roseville’s creek stream gauges provide real—time information on our website allowing you to monitor too. For up-to-date information on streams, visit http://www.roseville.ca.us/streams.
During significant rain storms, street flooding can occur because there’s too much water to get through the storm drain system or debris has blocked the drains. To report street flooding during regular business hours, call Roseville’s Street Maintenance Division at (916) 774-5790. For after hours and weekends, call the Police Department’s non-emergency number at (916) 774-5000.
Bike trails are subject to flooding during storm events, and trail users are advised to use caution. Also, some trails may be closed periodically during storms.
To report fallen trees during regular business hours, call (916)774-5748 or on weekends between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. call (916) 759-9661. All other times, call the Police Department’s non-emergency number at (916) 774-5000.
Wet and windy weather can also damage overhead power lines. Roseville Electric crews are on standby to respond to power outages any time of day and during inclement weather conditions.
If you encounter a downed power line – don’t touch it – call 9-1-1. To report an electric outage, call Roseville Electric’s outage hotline at (916) 774-5428.
Roseville Electric customers can help minimize storm related power outages by properly storing lightweight outdoor furniture and accessories and removing outdoor debris to avoid those items being carried away into power lines by strong winds.
