Electric Bill Changes Coming

The not so good news – ABC's Channel 10 News reports that Roseville Electric Utility customers could see an extra charge on their bill next year. “Roseville Electric Utility is proposing an 8% energy surcharge in addition to an already-approved 3% increase starting in January. Roseville City Council is set to vote on the proposal Wednesday. The 8% charge would be in effect from Feb. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2024. If approved, customers could see an 11% increase in 2023.”

The good news is that we had no increase between 2015-2021. They are also hoping that those on their Electric Rate Assistance program won't have their rates raised.

Per the City – “The need for this proposed surcharge is a direct result of significant and rapid increases in energy market prices. Our projected power supply costs for FY23 and FY24 have increased nearly 35 percent compared to what we expected for our rate proposal last summer/fall (approximately $20 million annually).”

More good news – we are still one of or THE lowest in our area.

Definitely NOT fun, but not surprising the way things have been going?

Bulb Planting Joys

Here's a tip for those who love bulbs and want to add more – There may still be time to enjoy planting bulbs. Click here to check out the schedule recommended by the UCCE Master Gardeners of Sacramento County. I was happy to see Daffodils and Hyacinths on their list for December (among other months) as they are two of my favorite flowers. I won't be planting any this month but maybe next year… 😀 One caveat to planting in December, though. You do have to beware of a frost. I bet Green Acres can give you good advice on that. And speaking of Green Acres…

Restaurant News in Roseville CA Area 12-9-22

Coming Soon

Earlier this week, the Sacramento Business Journal reported that a new sushi restaurant, It's Sushi, would be taking over the former Diamond Plate Bar & Grill space at Foothill Junction.

“The restaurant group behind the local Fukumi Ramen restaurants announced that it's planning to establish a new, all-you-can-eat sushi concept called “Its Sushi” at the center. The restaurant will fill an approximately 3,200-square-foot space at 5030 Foothills Blvd. in Roseville. The expectation is for the restaurant to be ready for operations by early February.” It's nice to hear that particular restaurant building is coming alive again. And all the sushi fans in my family and friends will definitely be excited about this!

West Coast Sourdough has several locations in California including one in Roseville at the Galleria, 1228 Galleria Blvd., Ste 100. And soon there will be another Roseville location at 1980 Blue Oaks Blvd, Roseville. I do LOVE sourdough which is great as we have several restaurants in Roseville that include that in their name and their menus. Delish! 😀
