Village Voice: Ada is the place to be this weekend

Posted by Paula Scott on Thursday, September 18, 2014

Ada is the place to be this weekend! On Saturday, Main Street comes alive the same way it does every September – the Harvest and Herb Festival hits the street. This Saturday is also Family Day at ONU, and ONU is encouraging family members to visit the community of Ada as part of the festivities. We’re not kidding; Ada is the place to be!

This weekend is a great time to show some of your Ada Pride! Please help us keep our community looking great. If you see trash on sidewalks, please pick it up and place it in the appropriate trash receptacle. If the sunshine prompts you to mow, make sure your grass clippings are not on the sidewalks or in the streets.

AEP contractors will start clearing tree limbs from utility lines

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, September 3, 2014

The Village has received notice that AEP will have contractors in the Village in three to six weeks to work on clearing tree limbs from utility lines. 

For this year’s work, trees that AEP contractors have marked with a yellow dot indicate tree trimming and trees marked with a red X indicate removal. The contractor will leave the wood for your use.

Utility line clearing is an important and necessary aspect for utility companies. By reducing the number of risks to electrical lines, utility companies can reduce the number of power outages.

Recent heavy rains: Clear storm sewer systems mean efficient storm water movement

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, August 13, 2014

Village Voice, provide by Village of Ada

The rainstorms we experienced earlier this week left us all with a little education in the importance of storm sewer systems.

Overall, the Village’s storm sewer system performed quite well during the storms, especially given the amount of rain that came down in a short amount of time.

Some areas of our community received 3-4 inches of water in just a matter of minutes, which is far from the normal rainfall we would expect. While some of our streets had water, the storm sewer system was clear enough to allow that water to recede rather quickly.
