SALT LAKE CITY — The U.S. Postal Service has announced the addition of a new ZIP code in South Jordan that will take effect July 1 and affect 8,200 delivery addresses.
The existing 84095 ZIP code area in South Jordan is being split north to south along Bangerter Highway, with all addresses west of the highway being assigned the new 84009 ZIP code and all addresses east of the Highway remaining in the 84095 ZIP code area.
Postal customers affected by the change are being notified by mail. Mail for both ZIP codes will continue to be delivered out of the South Jordan Post Office, 10102 S. Redwood Road.
“The tremendous growth in these areas made a new ZIP code necessary,” said Postal Service District Manager Jimmy Wolf. “The new ZIP code will ensure mail in the area continues to be sorted and delivered efficiently while helping to keep postage affordable and service quality high.”
Residents are being asked to use the new 84009 ZIP code beginning July 1, and to notify correspondents of their new mailing address as soon as possible. There will be a one-year grace period in which mail addressed with the old ZIP code will still be processed and delivered.
In addition to the affected residents receiving letters notifying them of the change, delivery area maps for the new ZIP codes will be posted in the South Jordan Post Office.
