The Rural Free Delivery system from the postal service allows for services not provided by city carriers, and keeps one's privacy by not telling others where you live. A unique 4-digit number is assigned to your residence, which must be written exactly as the following example, "3110 RFD." It is used for all mail and official purposes, or the post office will not guarantee delivery. It is not a post office box number. Its location, your street name, is up to you to give out. Please use your 4-digit number and street name for deliveries other than the U.S. mail. The Village office does not give out directions to your address.
