Electric Aggregation Program Update

The Amberley Village Electric Aggregation Program will change vendors to Constellation for the upcoming program term to ensure the lowest possible price for electricity in the Village.
Competitors have become very savvy and are calling residents directly and asking for account information in an effort to divert your business.
Residents enrolled in the Village Electric Aggregation Program NEED DO NOTHING to continue in the program. See photo of the sample letter you should have received or will be receiving in the mail. Please be aware that no information is required from you to continue in the program.

Property Maintenance Spotlight:
Top Benefits of Painting Your Home
|
|
Amberley Village is proud to introduce a new initiative with our Property Maintenance Spotlight. We'll take a closer look at aspects of Property Maintenance each month to encourage Village-wide compliance. The many advantages of a fresh coat of paint to a property's value are significant, but did you know that paint serves as your home's first line of defense? You're actually protecting your investment with a fresh coat of paint, which is recommended every 10 -12 years - assuming it's a quality paint and professionally applied.

Hamilton County Heroin Task Force Updates Name, Issues Warning Regarding Spike in Overdoses
|
|
|
|
Amberley Village's own Tom Fallon took part in a press conference mid-June to highlight concerns following a spike in drug overdoses throughout Hamilton County. Commander Fallon is part of the Hamilton County Addiction Response Coalition, formerly named the Hamilton County Heroin Task Force.
The name change indicates the broad range of drugs now inundating the area. The spike in overdoses is credited to the short-term drop in the drug supply as a result of COVID-19, which causes a user's tolerance to drop. With the reopening of the supply chain, users will often return to the same dosages, which their bodies can no longer handle.

Drill Tests Hose & Flowing Foam for Fire Suppression
|
|
Amberley Village holds monthly drills and testing for both the firefighters and equipment. Below, you can see the monthly drill testing of a fire hose and flowing foam for fire suppression. The role of the foam is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of the combustion.

|
|
Amberley Village tennis courts have been newly resurfaced
and have been reopened for play. Please note that fence repairs are still pending, and may impact court availability.
|
|
Seal coating of the walking track at the Municipal Building has begun. Plans include completion of the coating of the upper track on Thursday, July 2, with the lower track scheduled for coating on Monday, July 6.

Ball Field Gets a Refresh
|
The baseball field at the Municipal Building recently received a "refresh." The field was regraded, raked and dragged in preparation for upcoming use following the announcement of Ohio reopening youth sports.
Non-contact sports like baseball and tennis were among the first to receive permission to resume following state-wide closures.
|
|
Ohio is slowly opening back up, but we must continue to take precautions. If you must leave the house, care for yourself and your neighbors by wearing a face covering. Find instructions for DIY face coverings at

Strategies to Safely Encourage Community
|
|
Even in light of the COVID-19 Crisis, Amberley Village is still finding ways to safely support those in our community. On June 14, Amberley Village hosted its annual Bike Safety Event in a modified format, which still allowed children to have their helmets property fitted, and let our kids know the importance of bike safety.
Then on June 27, Amberley Village Police-Fire Department showed its support for Most Valuable Kids by hosting its annual Pep Rally, drive-through style! Families served by MVK drove the circle at the Municipal Building picking up summer swag bags, care packages and goodies to take home. Mascots from the Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds, and Cincinnati Cyclones were on hand to help kick off a great summer.
