Answered for Westfield, Hamilton County.
It has already moved through Indiana and killed the overwhelming majority of untreated ash. An untreated ash here is on a clock, not at risk. In Westfield, overwhelmingly young planted stock rather than inherited woodland, with ash removed from the picture by emerald ash borer. If the 18-foot mature-height limit in §92.02 stands as written, Westfield's tree lawns are effectively limited to small ornamentals — no future large shade canopy over the street by design — but that section could not be independently verified and should be confirmed before it is relied on. Treatable while the canopy is still mostly intact.

Thinning from the top down, D-shaped exit holes about an eighth of an inch across, sprouts low on the trunk, and pale flecking where woodpeckers have stripped bark to get at larvae.
Treatable while the canopy is still mostly intact. Once roughly a third of it is gone, treatment stops being worth the money and the tree becomes a removal — and a dead ash goes brittle unusually fast, which makes it both more dangerous and more expensive the longer it stands.
Trunk injection in spring or early summer, repeated every one to two years for the life of the tree. It is a permanent commitment, not a cure.
