CL Group Five mailbox replacement starts Monday

Installation of Group Five mailboxes starts Monday, Sept. 17. Residents will need to retrieve mail from their existing mailboxes before this date. Mail will cease at the following locations today, Sept. 14.

The following locations are part of Group 5 and will be affected:

• 23389 Continental Dr.
• 23475 Continental Dr.
• 23562 Continental Dr.
• 23731 Continental Dr.
• 23842 Continental Dr.
• 24036 Continental Dr.
• 24105 Cruise Circle Dr.
• 30836 Emperor Dr.
• 31128 Emperor Dr.

Mail for these locations will be held by USPS Sun City Post Office, 29700 Haun Rd., Menifee. Once the new mailboxes are installed, mail will resume and all “hold mail” will be delivered by the postal carrier to the new mailboxes. Normal mail delivery will resume on or before Friday, Sept. 21.

Starting Monday, residents in Group Five may pick-up their new mailbox keys at the POA’s Operations office, 29081 Longhorn Dr., Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. New mailbox keys will only be provided to the homeowner, valid tenant, or property manager.  The individual must provide proper identification and complete a Mailbox Key Release Agreement.

The existing free-standing pedestal-style cluster mailbox units and parcel mailboxes will be replaced with front-loading CBUs that combine both mailboxes and parcel boxes. The new CBUs are made of heavy-duty aluminum with stainless steel hardware, making them more secure than the existing mailboxes.

The new CBUs will be installed at a total of 96 locations throughout the community. For installation, these locations are being split into 10 groups.

Residents are encouraged to sign up for the Informed Delivery service offered by USPS. This free service allows residents to digitally preview their mail as it arrives. For more information, visit informeddelivery.usps.com.

At the February Regular Session Board Meeting, the POA Board of Directors approved $390,182.03, plus 2.5 percent contingency, to replace the aging mailbox clusters throughout the community. The entire project is anticipated to be completed by April 2019.
