Residents and Community leaders in Bairoil do not want their post office closed. The town is opposing plans by the U.S. Postal Service to close the town's post office.
Bairoil is located in the northeast corner of Sweetwater County. It is 45 miles away from the next-closest post office in Rawlins.
Bairoil Mayor Doug Reaser says some ranchers who use the Bairoil Post Office are up to 90 miles away from Rawlins. The Postal Service would save about $27,000 a year by closing the post office. Bairoil officials said the closing would impact a community that already has limited communications with the rest of the state and country.
