You are waiting for your pizza to be delivered, and you wonder why it is taking so long. Finally the driver arrives, frustrated because she couldn’t find your address on your house.
Waiting a few extra minutes for a pizza is an inconvenience, but having an improperly placed street address, or no visible street address, could be a life or death situation when emergency services are trying to respond to a call.
Work orders for water and sewer services are issued based on street addresses, and if Village employees have difficulty locating your house number, your requested work may be delayed.

They say that it takes a village...and it does. Without the generous support of so many Ada businesses, and so many families willing to participate in Summer Reading 2013, we wouldn’t have had the successful year that we did.
Thank you to all of the businesses and individuals who made donations to be used toward our program, and for those individuals who were always willing to stop and offer assistance; because of the support of the community we were able to offer over 50 free programs in the six weeks of Summer Reading and had 1,277 people show up for our programs!
Earlier this summer Dr. Jimmy Wilson, professor of geography, updated the Ada Kiwanis Club on the Ohio Northern University Google Earth project. The following story was posted on the ONU website in October 2012. It provides the information about the project, so that Icon viewers may understand how it was put into place.
