Forget Rain, Sleet: Power Outage Stops Mail in Reno-Sparks, NV



July 23, 2004

Many residents who live outside the Reno-Sparks area won’t get their mail delivered until today because of a power outage, according to the U.S. Postal Service.

A power outage at 8 p.m. Monday at the main Reno processing plant on 2000 Vasser Street caused the one-day delay, said Roger Wagner, a spokesman for the Postal Service. It affected all classes of mail, including first-class, direct and catalog mail, he said.

“The Reno area is not affected as much as outside areas,” Wagner said.

Power was restored about 4 a.m. Tuesday, but officials still don’t know what caused the outage, Wagner said.
