Roseville water‑efficiency staff summarized residential, commercial and parks programs that reduced potable water use and said continued outreach and rebate incentives remain a key part of long‑term demand management.

"One of the biggest steps forward has been our advanced metering infrastructure or AMI, which gives us real time visibility into water use," Water Conservation Administrator Bobby Alvarez said, describing how AMI helps detect leaks and trigger customer alerts before bills spike.

Alvarez said the city's cash‑for‑grass rebate and Waterwise House Call service are the most popular residential programs. "This year alone, residents have replaced over 42,000 square feet of turf, saving an estimated 1,400,000 gallons of water annually," he said. He added commercial customers removed more than 36,000 square feet of turf this year, saving roughly 1,200,000 gallons annually, and that the city has completed about 130 commercial surveys.

On parks and public landscape work, staff said updated controllers and weather sensors have saved about 3.5 million gallons of water after removing nonfunctional turf and upgrading to web‑enabled controllers; the parks department plans to budget for 25 to 30 new web‑based controllers each year until controllers across parks and streetscapes are managed remotely.

Alvarez described the Utility Exploration Center's Inspiration Garden — with QR codes and plant care information — and free Waterwise House Calls (field technician site visits) and workshops. He said Waterwise House Calls historically averaged about 900 visits per year and, after AMI rollout, Roseville completed more than 1,200 this year (October–December not included), and that pre/post checks on rebate participants show sustained water savings of 7–10 percent or more in some cases.

Staff encouraged residents to use roseville.ca.us/savewater for program details and to schedule house calls. No policy changes were voted on during the presentation.
