The 2019 Ada Consumer Confidence Report, also known as CCR, is now available to the public.
Making the report available is an annual requirement for compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act for community water systems throughout the country.
According to the U.S. EPA, the report “lists the regulated contaminants found in the drinking water…..as well as health effects information.”
The village passes this information along to its consumers not just to comply with the federal regulations, but also because the administration feels it is important for consumers to know where their drinking water comes from and what affects it.
Kenton Hardin Health Department is reporting an additional COVID-19 associated death. The department is also reporting 3 new recoveries and 1 negative test result.
Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Ada community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.
As a weekly series, The Icon will feature the art located on The Remington Walk on the Ohio Northern University campus. For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
Either way, it’s an opportunity to take a walk and view some art that is uniquely Ada. The Walk is spread through campus and may be viewed by following the ONU walking path, beginning near Affinity Village, west of The Freed Center.
Ada’s oldest and longest-running festival, Farmers and Merchants Picnic will take this year off. The parade and other parts of the picnic are also canceled.
It’s another local victim of the covid-19 virus.
Instead, the Farmers and Merchants planning committee will hold a raffle with at least four major prizes, according to Eva Wolke. Those prizes range from a smoker grill and Keystone Meats gift card to a Kahili trip, a television and a firepit.
Complete details on the raffle will be on the Ada Icon next week as will ticket prices and locations where tickets are available.

Meri Skilliter, Ada school superintendent, posted the following letter on the school website concerning updates for the 2020-21 school year.
I hope this update finds you enjoying some of the wonderful things summertime has to offer. I know that details about what school will look like when we return are on many people’s minds.
The Board and I thank those who came to our meeting and spoke on this subject. While I, too, have many questions (and few answers yet), I wanted to at least let you know the timeline we hope to follow in getting our plan to you.
