The 2012 Ada Consumer Confidence Report, also known as CCR, is now available for 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.

The Ada CCR also includes financial information concerning the water and wastewater treatment systems. A brief explanation of the breakdown of costs that appear on your water bill each month is a part of the financial report.

The Village of Ada in previous years has mailed a copy of the CCR with the monthly water bills. As technology continues to change the way the world functions, U.S. EPA has recognized that mailing the reports may not be the most efficient method of getting the information to consumers.

This year, the Village of Ada is making the report available in two methods: electronic and print. Electronically, the report is available at the following website: www.adaoh.org/ccr/ccr2012.pdf. That URL also appeared on the May water bills, printed May 24, 2013.

Consumers will be able to access the report directly by using that exact URL. The text of the report is also available under the “Water” and “Sewer” departments on the Village website (www.adaoh.org.)

The report is also available in print copy at the Ada Village Office. Customers who have their water payments set up with an automatic clearing house payment (ACH) will receive a print copy, as the ACH message on the bills does not allow for any additional messages on the bill.
Questions regarding the 2012 Ada CCR, or any information contained within the report, may be directed to the Ada Village Offices.

The Village of Ada publishes informational articles about Village policies and services currently offered. These articles are for informational purposes only. Further details and the complete Codified Ordinances may be found on the Village website, www.adaoh.org, or by calling the Village Offices at 419-634-4045.
