Power Outage At Post Office Center Could Disrupt Service

ALLEN PARK (WWJ) - A power outage at a Post Office processing center in Allen Park may affect your mail.

The power outage is at the distribution center on Oakwood Boulevard along the Southfield Freeway. As a contingency, sorting operations have been transferred to facilities in Detroit and Pontiac.

A spokeswoman with the Post Office says power isn't expected back at the distribution center until Wednesday at the earliest.

Employees are asked to call the Hotline phone number, 1-888-363-7462, for reporting instructions.

USPS says there should be minimal disruption to mail service. The contingency plan will remain in place until power is restored.
