Ada has been named one of Ohio's 16 safest cities by the National Council for Home Safety and Security. The list of Ohio’s 50 safest cities refers to populations of 5,000 or more.
The council reviews the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics along with their own population data and internal research to formulate and rank each city.
According to Police Chief Michael Harnishfeger, he credits the entire Ada community for being civic minded and engaged for a safer community as a major component in this distinction.

In preparation for this summer's storm water sewer project and the future new engineering building, work recently began to relocate the central plant's four-pipe water line system.
The central plant serves Biggs, science annex, Meyer, Mathile, College of Pharmacy, English Chapel and Heterick Library.
The area impacted is between the College Pharmacy building, the chapel and Heterick Library.
The weather for the first part of the year has been mild to say the least with average temperatures running well above normal. The very mild February continued into March and similar trends are expected for the next several months when addressing temperatures.
While most enjoy the warmer than normal temperatures for the winter and spring, if the trend continues into the summer months as the models are leaning we may change our opinion.
A large crowd gathered at Ada War Memorial Park on Sunday afternoon for the annual Easter egg hunt sponsored by Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.
The Easter Bunny got a lot of hugs from the youngsters prior to the gathering of the candy-filled eggs.
