The Village Voice: It’s okay to hug a tree, just please don’t hang anything on it!

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, June 11, 2014

We start to see signs go up all over town around this time of year. Advertisements for garage sales, local events and contractor work are some of the most common signs we see throughout the summer. Having such signs visible is great for the event, sale or contractor, especially when the signs look nice.

Locations for the signs are crucial for visibility. However, there are some places that the signs are not permitted.

Per Ordinance 741.13, titled “Posting Bills,” hanging any kind of sign on trees, fences or utility poles on public grounds of the Village is not allowed, regardless of how those signs are hung.

Watering your garden and/or lawn with potable water? Consider the Summer Sewer Credit.

Each summer, many Ada residents increase their water usage as a result of watering their gardens and lawns. Per Codified Ordinance 921.13, residents may apply for a sewer credit to help offset that added sewer expense.

An annual fee of $5.00 must be paid in order to qualify for the credit. That payment can be made at the Water Office, beginning immediately.
