Post Office roof leaking…again

Bucket Brigade

There are three things in life you can count on: Death, taxes and the roof at the Forestville Post Office to leak.  I visited the post office last week and noticed water buckets lined up and ready for work.  At that time I assumed it was just a one day event. Well, I was wrong because this morning while purchasing stamps the buckets were still there capturing water.

It was only last year that the Ville’s the post office was closed due to leaky roof as water was saturating the post office boxes.  With all that snow we have had this winter season this is only a prelude of things to come for the spring.

Post Office is Open

Forestville Post Office

The Forestville post office reopened Saturday morning! As a result, Forestville residents will no longer have to slog it to downtown Bristol to retrieve their mail or purchase their stamps.

Heavy rains in February caused a leak in the roof which resulted in the Forestville branch being closed until repairs could be completed.
