TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (AP) -- Help is on the way for Taylorsville residents who have plagued with problems with their mail.
The help is coming from House Government Reform and Oversight Committee chairman Tom Davis from Virgina. He made the promise to Utah Congressman Chris Cannon during floor debate this week on a bill designed to help modernize the U-S Postal Service.
Cannon told the House that the mail is plagued with unwarranted delays and sporadic delivery. He said it's partly because Taylorsville has four different ZIP codes and because all post offices that serve the area are located outside the city.
Cannon said if we're talking about cities like New York or Los Angeles, multiple ZIP codes are perfectly logical. However, a city of only 60-thousand shouldn't have to deal with four different ZIP codes.
Davis promised to work with Cannon to find a solution.
