City Of Roseville Issues Drought Alert

ROSEVILLE (AP) ― Roseville is the first city in more than a dozen years to issue a drought alert in the Sacramento region.

The city roughly 20 miles north of Sacramento is not getting its full allotment of water from Folsom Lake. 

Now Roseville is asking individual residents to conserve at least 10 percent of their water usage.

The city's water supply from Folsom Lake has been cut by 25%.

The snowpack that feeds the lake is normal.

But much of the runoff is soaking into the ground, which remains parched after a very dry 2007.
