The Village of Ada has announced that the 2024 Paving Project has started on September 24 and that the Bluffton Paving milling crew is currently working on Oak Street.

Ada's Civil War Monument at the Depot Park--a cannon on a stone base enscribed "Lest We Forget - In Memory of Our Soldiers, 1961-1865" has been cleaned of many years of rust and weathering.
Surface Solution Painting power-washed the granite base and will begin painting the seacoast cannon, forged in 1859 at the historic Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond, Va.
The decommissioned cannon was used during the Civil War in Fort Mifflin, Penn., and arrived in Ada in 1903.
For more details about the cannon and historical facts and video about the Civil War, visit the Community Bulletin Board at the Ada Depot Park.

The Village of Ada has notified residents that the Public Works Department will be performing routine maintenance on valves beginning this week of September 10.
This routine maintenance work has a projected completion date of October 25.
The notice says the work is being done "to exercise main line valves throughout the distribution system to assure reliable operation and maintain water quality."
Brush chipping that would normally take place on the first Monday in September is delayed until September 9 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.
Brush or storm debris in the tree lawn area may be picked up by the Village, and residents may place additional brush for chipping in that area. Hired tree trimmers must clean up their own debris; the Village will not pick up brush left by commercial cutters.
