Decausc winter weather brings precipitation and cold conditions, the delivery of mail will be more difficult for carriers. Pixir mailbox conditions will only add to the difficulties. The postal service suggests that mailbox owners inspect their boxes and make the following adjustments: Paint the mailbox to prevent rust. With moist winter condi tions, these boxes can sustain significant damage. Have the name and address clearly visible on the box. Touch-up- s should be made to this information if neccessary. Have a lid that opens and closes properly. These lids may freeze shut is a proper seal is not made when the box is dosed Have a red signal flag that goes up and down. This alerts the mail carrier that outgoing mail is present in the box before it is opened. Mailboxes should be the proper height which is 42 inches from the street, not the curb, Maflbtnes should be attached firmly to the post With snowplows removing snow from the roadway, mailbox poles may become covered. A poor attachment may mean that the box will fall off from the post Approach to the box should be a hard level surface. Approach to the box should be kept dear of obstacles such as cars, garbage cans and snow. By performing simple mailbox improvements, Carbon County residents will ensure that mail delivery will not be interrupted.
