Milpitas offers free wireless doorbells with cameras to enhance public safety and assist police in crime prevention.
Now, the city is offering more generous aid for water bills, with three different tiers of assistance depending on need. For residents who make less than half of the area's median income - currently $195,200 for a family of four - the program would provide 50% off fixed water bills, water meter and sewer connection costs, and up to $50 off water consumption costs.
A 1,860-square-foot house built in 1984 has changed hands. The unit in the 700 block of Erie Circle in Milpitas was sold on Oct. 3, 2025 for $1,765,000 which represents a price per square foot of $949. The layout of this two-story house includes three bedrooms and three baths. In addition, the home is equipped with two parking spots, ensuring convenient parking for multiple cars. The property occupies a lot of 4,464 square feet.
Milpitas Interim City Manager Deanna Santana announced she would be resigning at the end of this month, following a clash with Councilmember Evelyn Chua over an alleged attempt at holding a secret meeting in violation of the Brown Act, according to newly released documents by the city. I came to Milpitas to help fix the organization, not to fight or be disrespected, wrote Santana in an August email announcing her resignation. Unfortunately, over the last two weeks, both have happened with Councilmember Chua.
