Leaf season will soon be upon us

Posted by Reema Bazzy on Wednesday, September 25, 2013

As a service to residents, the Village will once again be picking up leaves that have been raked by residents. More details will be forthcoming in the October 31 issue of the Village Voice.

For now, the Village wants to let you know that the annual leaf pick up flyers will once again be mailed with the September water bills. Those bills are scheduled to be mailed by September 28.

The first day for 2013 leaf pick up is scheduled for November 4, weather permitting.

For more details, refer to the insert with your water bill, check with the Village Office, or visit the Village website at www.adaoh.org .

Show Ada pride this weekend

Posted by Reema Bazzy on Thursday, September 19, 2013

Ada is the place to be this weekend! Saturday, Main Street comes alive the same way it does every September – the Harvest and Herb Festival hits the street.

This Saturday is also Family Day at ONU, and ONU is encouraging family members to visit the community of Ada as part of the festivities. We’re not kidding; Ada is the place to be!

This weekend is a great time to show some of your Ada Pride! Please help us keep our community looking great. If you see trash on sidewalks, please pick it up and place it in the appropriate trash receptacle. If the sunshine prompts you to mow, make sure your grass clippings are not on the sidewalks or in the streets.

Some information about refuse and recycling tote removal

Posted by Reema Bazzy on Thursday, September 12, 2013

If you have left your garbage or recycling tote out in the tree lawn area, or near the road, a day or two too long, you may have received a warning notice from the Villlage. 

Per Codified Ordinance 955.10 and 955.11, the Village may remove your totes from the tree lawn area if they are left out until the Friday after garbage pickup, and charge you for the removal.

The Village sends a warning notice to give you a chance to keep your totes pulled back from the street. If you have repeat offenses, the Village will charge you $20 for the tote removal, a charge which appears on your water bill.
