THURMAN, Iowa (AP) – Operations at the Thurman Post Office in the southwest corner of Iowa have been suspended over concerns about the structural stability of the building. The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reports that all operations at the Thurman Post Office were moved temporarily to the Sidney Post Office on Sept. 29.

The U.S. Postal Service will use temporary centralized mailboxes outside the Thurman Post Office. Until the mailboxes are installed, Thurman Post Office box customers will need to pick up their mail at the Sidney Post Office. The blue collection box outside of the Thurman Post Office will continue to be picked up as scheduled.

Post Office Operations Manager Wes Gronemyer says the post office will reopen once repairs to the building are made.
