Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, July 15, 2015

Ada officials figure that 54 million gallons of water fell inside the 2-mile square village limits on Tuesday. In a 30-minute period Ada experienced 1-½ inches of rain.

David Retterer, Ada mayor, reported that figure at Wednesday’s Community Improvement Corp. (CIC) meeting.

“A lot of people are calling the village about the rain. The projects we’ve handed in the past 20 years have enabled us to put in a lot of drainage,” he said, adding that without those project there would be lots of water with no where to go.

“Now we can get rid of water and we believe we are doing it responsibly,” he added.
