downtown Roseville projects

Downtown Roseville update

It will be a busy couple years for city building projects in Downtown Roseville. All of the projects are part of the Downtown Specific Plan designed through a community visioning process in 2009. The highly popular Vernon Street Town Square and roundabout at Washington Boulevard and Oak Street are examples of projects already completed in accordance with the plan.

Current projects include an office building at 316 Vernon Street, the Oak Street Parking facility, a new downtown Fire Station, three pedestrian bridges and bike trail connections through downtown.

Fix a leak week

Leaks can run, but they can’t hide! Every day during Fix a Leak Week, visit the Roseville Utility Exploration Center to learn where water-wasting leaks hide around home, and learn how to fix them. Use a dye tablet to find toilet leaks, get your hands on a variety of sprinklers, and enter for a chance to win a smart timer or other water-saving technology. Best of all, it is free.

For more information call 916-746-1550 or visit the Fix A Leak Week page. 


water treatment plant

Roseville explores creating waste into energy

Work is underway right now to develop a project that would one day help power one of the city's wastewater treatment plants or provide fleet vehicle fuel using Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).  This project is in its infancy and more work is needed to see this effort become a reality.  But we’re hard at work behind the scenes to bring this project online within the next three to five years.
