Happy Fourth of July, Amberley Village!
Please remember to be safe and respectful during this season of celebration, as one of the biggest safety and courtesy hazards this time of year comes in the form of fireworks.
While it is legal to purchase some fireworks in Ohio, please note that it is illegal to set them off. Amberley Police will respond to reports of firework detonation, and residents could be cited and fireworks confiscated. Please remember that neighbors with small children and dogs are particularly susceptible to the disruption caused by residential fireworks.
On behalf of all of the administration, police, fire and maintenance employees here at Amberley Village, we wish our residents a Safe and Happy Fourth of July!

Boom Arm Mower Saves $
for Amberley Village
Maintenance crews made use of the loan of this boom arm mower to groom the growth along Galbraith and Section Roads, as well as multiple back streets, recently. The mower, which was generously lent to the Village by Symmes Township, allows for efficient trimming of hedges along roadsides. The use of the mower saves the Village thousands of dollars in equipment and contractor costs, and gives the neighborhood a tight and tidy feel.
Way to go, maintenance crew!
