The Ada Municipal Pool is now open for the season.

The early bird pricing for pool passes ends Monday, June 13. Through the end of the day on Monday, passes are $45 per person. If you are an Ada resident or taxpayer, you may be eligible for a $10 discount, subject to verification. That makes your pool pass only $35.

After Monday, passes are $55 per person. The $10 discount for Ada residents and/or taxpayers still applies, so passes for those individuals will be $45 per person.

Passes are only being sold at the village office this season, and hours are 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Guests to the pool will need to pay daily admission rates until a pass has been issued.

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 4.
