Welcome to the Village of Ashley
SPECIAL NOTICES
*** Update ***
Reposting from Facebook re: next steps for Village Utility Aggregation in case there are questions:
There is a multi step process defined by the PUCO (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio) the village is required to follow:
1) Voter approval - Passed in the November 2024 General Election
2) Signed agreement between village and Trebel, Council had some questions re: the agreement language at December’s meeting, expect approval in January Council meeting
3) Submit agreement to PUCO for their approval and permit #
4) Request electric and gas utility consumption for village in total from Columbia Gas & Ohio Edison
5) Request bids from gas and electric suppliers for village aggregate usage and contract with selected bidder
6) Notify residents of aggregation utility costs - residents choose to remain with aggregation supplier or opt-out of program at that point.
You will receive more info via mail, village website, etc. as this process approaches completion. I expect these steps will be complete by April if not before. In the meantime, happy to address any questions / concerns anyone has.

Waste Water Treatment Plant Ph II Update: Village Council accepted the recommendation from our engineering firm, OHM, to award the project bid to Simonson Construction Services, Inc. Tentative schedule for project start is Feb / March 2026.​​
Dear Residents:
I want to share some good news. The Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund has awarded the Village funds to make needed improvements to the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). The planned improvements are Phase II in our WWTP project plans and will significantly improve our waste water treatment processes.
The approved funding consists of a $4,000,000 loan with principal forgiveness (PF) and a $950,000 0% interest loan. The village is one of a handful of municipalities / government entities throughout the State to receive the $4,000,000 PF award.
As always, for more village information, please contact the Mayor’s office or attend a monthly meeting, Village Council (1st Tuesday) or Board of Public Affairs (3rd Tuesday), both 7pm.
