A "drug take-back" event takes place from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, April 26, in the parking lot north of Rite Aid. Here is background on the event, provided by The Village Voice:
The things we think we, as consumers, can put down our drains and toilets aren’t always what the drains are made to handle. Some of the items are a matter of common sense.
Would you ever think to put rags down the drain or toilet as a means of disposal? Probably not.
Now that the weather is beginning to agree with the calendar that it is indeed spring, many residents are ready to start cleaning! Spring cleaning may result in a large variety and quantity of unwanted material.
While the Village will not be providing a spring cleanup day this year, there are a few tips the Village would like to offer to residents and property owners:
Have the winds of this winter helped ‘trim’ a few of your trees?
Do you need to have some limbs picked up and chipped?
Now is your chance!
The village will conduct a monthly service of brush pick up/chipping and pick up on Monday, April 7.
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.
The Village of Ada uses the services of Central Collection Agency (also known as CCA) Division of Taxation for filing and payment of Village Income taxes. As a service to its customers, CCA schedules on site taxpayer assistance.
This year, auditors from CCA will be available at the Ada Depot on Wednesday, April 2, from 4 to 7 p.m., and Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. At these times, auditors will be able to assist taxpayers with their Village of Ada income tax form preparations.
In December of 2013, Village Council voted to approve a request to close West Highland Avenue from Main Street to the alley west of the United Methodist Church property.
The purpose for the closure is to ensure a safe construction environment while the new United Methodist Church is being built this spring.
The Village has received word that the closure will begin Wednesday, March 19. There will be no access to the street, parking, and sidewalks while the street is closed. The street closure is authorized until April 1, 2015.
The Village is making preparations to staff the Ada Municipal Pool for the 2014 summer season.
