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.
Ada's cycle of life turns to the wheat harvest. Dennis Morrision took this idyllic harvest photo on the Dave Warren farm on Township Road 51 north of Ada in Orange Township. This is one of the first wheat fields in the Ada area to have wheat taken off.
The ONU Department of Art and Design recently held a week-long, intensive design camp for high school artists.
This year's theme was urban forests, something the Ada Tree Commission was glad to see and something any tree lover would support.
Zohie Dysert of Ada was among the campers, who all came up with dramatic posters. A few examples are posted below, including the one by Zohie.
The campers explored the fundamentals of visual communication. The program called on the artists and designers to make a powerful visual statement about trees to be put on banners.
Not all cactus grow in Arizona, some are hardy, as shown in this photo taken on the first day of summer at the Pilger home in the 400 block of North Gilbert Street. The many bright yellow blooms of a cactus plant are from a start that was given to Bob Pilger 20 years ago. The starts have since spread and provide a mass of color by the front door this time of year.

The 8-family yard sale in the 700 block of South Johnson was doing a land office business on Saturday morning...maybe that's because the sale was advertised FREE in the Ada Icon.
