Village Voice: Ada consumer confidence report available

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, June 27, 2017

The 2016 Ada Consumer Confidence Report, also known as CCR, is now available to the general public.

Making the report available is an annual requirement for compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act for community water systems throughout the country.

According to the U.S. EPA, the report “lists the regulated contaminants found in the drinking water.....as well as health effects information.”

The Village passes this information along to its consumers not just to comply with the federal regulations, but also because the administration feels it is important for consumers to know where their drinking water comes from and what affects it.

Summer is right around the corner and who isn’t ready for the sun and heat?

There is a season-long discount of $10 per person for any resident/taxpayer who works or lives within the Ada village limits and is required to file and pay village income tax (subject to verification).

The discount is the village way of saying thanks to taxpayers, because .15% of the village’s income tax is designated to support the pool.

After much discussion and feedback from the public, advocacy groups and the Hardin County Dog Warden in 2016, Council revised Ada’s local ordinance to address some concerns.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, January 3, 2017

The 2017 Republic Services refuse and recycling guide is now available in the Water Office. Many residents find it helpful to keep a copy of the calendar handy to know which day their refuse and recycling pick up will happen.

The contract the Village holds with Republic Services is in place for three years, and there are no changes planned for pick up this year. Refuse will still continue to be picked up on Tuesdays, with the possible exception of weeks in which a major holiday falls on a Monday or Tuesday.

Village Voice: Sidewalks + ice + cold temps = What do I do?

There are several options to keep you walks free of ice and snow
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, December 15, 2016

While some people may look forward to snow covered trees and lawns, many of us dread icy sidewalks once the temperatures sink lower and lower.

Ada Codified Ordinance 521.06 does require walks to be kept free from snow and ice, by either the owner or the occupant of the property.

Many people start applying rock salt at the first sign of precipitation and cold temperatures. Rock salt, which is primarily sodium chloride, tends to be on the less expensive side of deicers.

However, rock salt can harm pets, plants, grass, and trees. Rock salt can also cause the sidewalks to begin breaking down, depending on the composition of the concrete used during construction.

The Village Voice: Residents' cooperation needed during snow emergencies

Here's some direction from the village
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, December 13, 2016

Ada village officials provided the Icon with the village approach to snow emergencies. Here is information of interest to residents from The Village Voice:

Snow Emergencies

Village crews work around the clock through major snowfalls to keep the Village streets as safe and passable as possible. Please keep the following tips in mind:

•  Crews do not wait for a snow emergency to be declared to begin clearing roads.
If you are able to park your vehicles off the street, please do so. Once the public lots at the Depot and the corner of West Buckeye Avenue and North Gilbert Street are plowed, please consider using those lots.
