Revel Casino In AC Is Attempting To Reopen But There's Way Too Much Shit Clogging The Drains - No, Literally
AC - The latest delay in the revival of Revel – the failed casino and resort on the end of the Atlantic City Boardwalk – is caused by toilets that can’t flush. Human waste is backed up in outside sewage mains leading from the building, which is the second tallest in New Jersey with 6.2 million square feet of space, according to The Press of Atlantic City. Inflatable plugs, each about the size of a basketball, remained in place Wednesday, stopping the flow in the mains beneath New Jersey Avenue. The pipes lead to a wastewater plant on the way into town on Absecon Boulevard. In a pay dispute, the Atlantic City Sewerage Company plugged Revel’s pipes months ago. Meanwhile, crews working to reopen Revel – owner Glenn Straub has promised to rename it but has yet to announce what that name will be – have been using portable toilets as they spruce up the property. Utility crews were on stand-by Wednesday to literally unplug the pipes once unpaid bills were satisfied. “It’s gonna be a gusher,” utility worker John Clark told The Press. “It’s the first time we cut off a casino,” utility worker Damon Mitchell told The Press. “It’s gonna come flying out 100 miles per hour.”
Shitter’s full! It’s a shocker that shit’s disrubting Atlantic City in both the figurative and literal sense.
