LAFAYETTE — Due to torrential rains, which produced a ravaging flood in several Louisiana cities, customers will have to pick up their mail in nearby alternate post offices. Those cities are listed in bold just below:

(Cade LA - 70519 to Broussard LA 70518)

While customers can pick up their mail with proper identification at the alternate Post Offices, retail and shipping services will also be available, such as Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail and First through Fourth-Class postage. In addition, Special Services like Registered and Certified Mail will be available for customers.

As water recedes in the impacted areas and conditions improve, both mail delivery and retail services will be restored at those five Post Offices.
