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 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 Sherriff’s Office non-emergency number: 740-670-5555

New Zoning Inspector
Wes Roseberry has resigned as zoning inspector for the village and Stan Robinson has agreed to take his place. Stan’s knowledge of our zoning is unequaled and his record keeping and reporting is first class, as evidenced by having Stan as zoning inspector before, Wes and Mayor Jasper both went to him with zoning questions.   Please make a note of his email (voa.zoninginspector@outlook.com )  and phone number (740-817-0121) .

Water Service Alerts
 
Periodically we perform regular required maintenance to our water system to ensure that our water is always clean and safe to drink. One of those requirements is to run fresh water through our storage tower. We have shut off the water supply from Granville and are currently using water from our water storage tower.  We do this on a regular basis to re-chlorinate the tower water and ensure that it is always fresh and of the highest quality possible. When we turn the supply back on from Granville, Tuesday afternoon December 22, 2020 to re-fill the tower we may see some discoloration in our water. This is completely normal and totally safe to drink. It will clear up in 24 hours or less, most likely by Tuesday evening it will be back to normal.

Water Service Project
When the workers get to your house in most cases you are only without water a couple hours. They do not turn off anyone’s water and leave. So, if you have been without water more than a couple hours, or they seem to be packing up, or it’s approaching 5:PM. Don’t hesitate to call me or walk out and ask them how long it will be. We have had a couple instances where something has plugged the water line when they restore service and if no one tells them they are not aware that your water isn’t coming in the house. For the most part the project is proceeding very well, we are probably two thirds or more through the project and have had very few problems. Mostly because you have been very patient and worked with the construction workers. 
GRANVILLE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPDATE
