Welcome to the Village of Alexandria website.  If you are viewing on your mobile device, looking at the H0me page in landscape (sideways) view may provide a better viewing experience.
Alexandria is a picturesque village in St. Alban's township, Licking County, Ohio. The village was founded in 1830 by Alexandria DeVilbis and has a population of around 600. We are proud to be the home of the highly rated Northridge School District. Alexandria is an active and vibrant community. Please visit the History of Alexandria page to learn about our rich heritage.

Our mayor, village council members, township trustees and award-winning fire department are working hard to insure a safe and high quality of life for all the citizens of the village and township.

We invite you to explore our website and learn more about what our community has to offer.

Alexandria/St. Alban's Township Recycling Center
The schedule at the Alexandria/St. Albans Township site has changed. The bins there will now be emptied 4 times a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays! Because the Dutch Lane (Liberty Township) recycling site has been closed, expect increased traffic at our site.

New Village Administrator
It is a pleasure to introduce Greg Sturgill as the new Village Administrator.  Since moving to the village in 1995, Greg has been a very active member of the community. He currently serves as chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as treasurer of the Museum Board. Greg is also a long-time member of the Library Board.  Greg began serving all of us in the village office 4 years ago, volunteering to scan and upload all Village documents, a task that to this day requires several hours a week to keep up with.  Greg is retired from Columbus City Schools where he worked in IT for most of his life in the position of Systems Analyst.  He now feels he is ready for a new challenge working for the village as Village Administrator. 

The Village office is open from 1:00pm to 5:00pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday or by appointment.
Village Water News
For the  most part the transition to the new billing system went smoothly. However, there have been some instances of over billing and payments not being applied. There have also been some cases of payments not being received by the village, Residents have been great at letting us know when there are problems. I always advise people to pay what you know is your normal bill and to put a note with the payment explaining why you removed the penalty portion that was improperly applied, or didn’t pay the full $13,000 the system thought you owed. :

Greg hit the ground running to repair all these issues and ensure that we are properly billing!  This month’s water bill, January 2022 will be an estimate.  Greg is taking the entire system offline to go through every address one by one and ensure that each address is properly entered and programmed in the system. In addition, he has created a village email address for our water clerk Jaclynn Randolph.

You can direct water billing questions to voa.waterclerk@outlook.com, or leave a message at the Village office 740-924-ALEX (2359) which Greg will return Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 1 to 5: PM.

Alexandria Police
As you may have noticed, we are easing into a law enforcement presence here in the Village. As with everything we have done, it will be a slow phase-in before we get back to where we want to be. We have some very selective hiring to do, some lettering work on our cruisers, and some equipment needs. However, we are far enough along to occasionally put an officer on the road. Please be Patient. We will be out more as funds and personnel allow. As always, in an emergency dial 911. To file a non-emergency police report, call the Sheriff's Office non-emergency number: 740-670-5555.
