No front plates required in Ohio after July 1

Move vehicles in Buckeye State affected
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, June 30, 2020

Ohio will become a one license plate state effective July 1.

The Ohio Department of Public Safety announced that a front license plate will no longer be required after July 1 for most Ohio vehicles.

The decision to do away with the front license plate was part of a compromise deal reached by lawmakers in April 2019.

The change fell under House Bill 62, which requires only one license plate to be displayed on most motor vehicles, including passenger vehicles.

The license plate must be displayed on the rear of the vehicle. However, commercial tractors must display the license plate on the front of the motor vehicle.

Village 2019 water report now available online

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, June 28, 2020

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.
