OTISFIELD, Maine, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Officials in Otisfield now say residents get to keep the small Maine town's sole mailbox after the U.S. Postal Service had announced it would be removed.
The officials said they have struck a deal to allow the town, which does not have a post office, to keep the only mailbox available to residents, WMTW-TV, Auburn, Maine, reported Thursday.
The decision made last month to remove the box triggered multiple complaints from residents. One woman threatened to chain herself to the mailbox to keep it from being removed.
The Postal Service initially said the box averaged only six pieces of mail per day and they had planned to remove it as a cost-cutting measure.
