Village Voice: A reminder of what happens during snow emergencies

Village crews work around the clock through major snowfalls to keep the Village streets as safe and passable as possible. Please keep the following tips in mind:

- Crews do not wait for a snow emergency to be declared to begin clearing roads. If you are able to park your vehicles off the street, please do so. Once the public lots at the Depot and the corner of West Buckeye Avenue and North Gilbert Street are plowed, please consider using those lots.

Village Voice: Ready to un-deck the halls?

The holidays often find us with an excess of many things, including refuse.

Please remember to call the Water Office at 419-634-4045 or contact the office via email through the Village website, by the end of the day on Monday of each week, if you will have extra items for the regular weekly refuse pick up.

Waste Management may leave items that are outside of totes if we do not hear from you.

For your safety, please be sure to bag any refuse, including boxes and packaging. Refuse pickup after the holidays can be an ideal time for would-be thieves to scope out what new electronics and toys you may have received based on the boxes that have been left out for pick up.

Village Voice: Happy Holidays from the Village of Ada

The Village of Ada would like to wish everyone safe and happy holidays this season!

2014 has been a busy year of development, progress and growth in Ada, which is possible, in part, due to the cooperation and support of the residents.

Thank you for continuing to make Ada a great community this holiday season, and year round!

Village Voice: 2015 recycling calendars now available

The long awaited 2015 Waste Management recycling calendars have arrived in the Village Water Office.

Residents who have their refuse collected by Waste Management as a part of the Village contract also have recycling collection available to them. As in the past, the recycling is collected every other week, whereas the refuse is collected every week. Many residents have come to rely on the calendars, which are printed and sent to the Village by Waste Management each year.

Leaving for the holidays? Make some winter water plans

Finals week at ONU next week may explain the collective sigh you may hear settle over our community! Many students will be leaving their Ada homes to return to their families for the holiday break. Full time residents of Ada may also leave their homes over the holidays for more than a day or two in order to spend time with loved ones in other cities and states.

Returning home to a water situation over the winter months is not the welcome home party anyone wants. Avoid walking into a flooded home or apartment by remembering a few key points:

Village Voice: Some leaf pick up tips and reminders

Leaf Pick Up – Week 1 is complete!

The Village Street Crews have been going strong with leaf pick up over the past week. With week 1 done, here are a few reminders:

• Having your vehicles and refuse containers out of the way have been a great help! Please continue to keep your street as clear as possible.

• Any debris other than leaves in your piles can prevent the crews from being able to pick up leaves. Please make sure there are no branches, limbs, or other non-leaf material, including trash, in your leaf pile.
