TWIN FALLS, Idaho -- In a case of mistaken identity, nearly 700 households in the southern Idaho city of Twin Falls were recently asked what they thought about the services of a city in South Dakota.
Twin Falls hired a Colorado-based firm in July to survey 1,200 households and gather input on services provided by the city, such as police, parks and animal control.
The Times News reports that the first round of the five-page surveys sent out by National Research Center, Inc., did not have errors, but the second batch asked residents what they thought about services in Sioux Falls.
Center President Thomas Miller says the mix-up is embarrassing for the company and shouldn't have happened.
The company is sending new surveys to the Twin Falls households that received the Sioux Falls questions.
