Ada's latest news

“During this process there may be a slight discoloration of the water caused by sediment or rust being flushed from the water mains,” said Jamie Hall, village administrator

August is fire hydrant flushing month in Ada.

Public works employees will handle the annual procedure and here’s what village water customers need to know:

Work will begin in the northeast and southeast sections of the village. The work will be completed in a pattern moving from the center toward the outside of the village, and then in a clockwise rotation Mondays through Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. until all hydrants are flushed.

“During this process there may be a slight discoloration of the water caused by sediment or rust being flushed from the water mains,” said Jamie Hall, village administrator. “Households experiencing this should not be alarmed.”

If you look closely you might be able to idenfiy the exact location of this photo. It's looking south on Ada's Main Street in a colorized post card from the beginning of an earlier century.

A couple thing to consider:
• Look at all those trees – they are somewhat mature, meaning that there was probably a planned planting 25 years earlier.

• We aren't able to determine if the street is paved or dirt. If paved, it is red bricks and would help identify a year.

One place to stay cool this summer is at the Ada Municipal Pool. With the calendar reading August, the pool's days are numbered. Here's a life guard  staying out of the sun.
