Village Voice: When to put our your refuse and recycling in 2017

2017 Republic Services refuse and recycling guide available
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.

The Village gives thanks…

Without the help of many, Ada would not be what it is
Posted by Anne Pannabecke... on Tuesday, November 22, 2016

This Thanksgiving, we are saying thank you to all those who volunteer and work hard to improve our community. Without the help of many, Ada would not be what it is.

Residents are served throughout the year by the volunteer work of the Ada Tree Commissioners, Planning Commissioners and Board of Zoning Appeals members. These individuals serve on the referenced commissions and boards on their own time, and continually work to improve the appearance and health of the community.
