By Paula Scott

The State of Ohio has announced that more than $13.8 million in grants will be awarded to complete critical infrastructure and neighborhood improvement projects–including a $750K CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) neighborhood revitalization grant to the Village of Ada.

At the Tuesday, September 19 council meeting, the Ada mayor, council members and administrator discussed the result. Administrator Jamie Hall said that the response and help received in the application development process was “tremendous” including public meetings, surveys and other feedback between October 2022 and May 2023.

Village capital campaign will help create "Magic on Main"

The Beautification/Revitalization Committee of the Village of Ada has announced that a Magic on Main capital campaign will bring new downtown décor for the holiday season.The campaign will also fund ongoing enhancements for banners and flowers for other seasons.

The Village is accepting donations to directly support the Magic on Main components: seasonal snowflakes, wreaths and light pole garlands.

Village brush chipping delayed until September 11

Brush chipping that would normally take place on the first Monday in September is delayed until September 11 due to the Labor Day holiday.

The Village announcement notes:

One of the goals of brush chipping and pickup is to keep the tree lawn areas of the Village clear of debris, so that debris litter does not enter the storm sewer system.

Village valve maintenance beginning June 19

Ada's Public Works Department will be performing routine maintenance on water distribution valves the week of June 19, 2023 beginning on the North side of the Village.

Hydrant flushing begins June 5

Announcement from the Village of Ada:

As part of our annual water maintenance program, Public Works employees will be flushing fire hydrants starting June 5, 2023 on the North Side of Ada between the hours of 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Because water mains are typically looped together, you may notice that your service pressure is affected even if hydrants are being flushed several blocks away.

During the flushing process, there may be a slight discoloration of the water caused by sediment or rust being flushed from the water mains. If you do experience discoloration in your water service, please don't be alarmed. Your water will clear up once it is run for a short time. Should you experience rusty colored water, we suggest you run the cold water from the faucet nearest to the water meter (laundry tub, outside faucet) to flush the service, We suggest that on days we flush, you may not want to do laundry during the hours listed above. Possible discoloration in the water can stain light colored clothing.

Please note that your water is safe for all other uses and that slightly higher amounts of chlorine are added to the system during maintenance.
