Restroom Trailer at Liberty Park Reopening

After closing for repair from the damages of superstorm Sandy, the Statue of Liberty reopened last week just in time for the 4th! It was inspiring for the thousands in attendance to see one of the nation’s symbols of freedom reopened on America’s birthday. We were proud to assist the reopening with one of our restroom trailers.
Liberty Island and Liberty State Park have been closed since October, 2012 due to damages from Hurricane Sandy. While Lady Liberty herself suffered no damage the structures around the statue needed major repairs. While there was some cosmetic damage to the island and docks, the biggest problem was below ground, where floodwaters damaged heating and cooling equipment, sewage treatment equipment and most of the island’s power supply.
It was unclear whether Liberty Park would also open in time for the Fourth of July festivities. The docks that provide ferry transportation to Liberty Island were also damaged in the storm. This left Manhattan as the only place visitors could board a ferry to see the statue. Liberty Park opening means the opportunity for thousands who would otherwise not have been able to see the statue to make the trip.
Our portable restroom will accommodate Liberty Park visitors for the summer while the rebuilding process continues. Our 6 unit Advantage series restroom trailer was put in place on July 3rd, to provide quality, clean, flushable restroom facilities for guests visiting Liberty Park. The unit is fully climate controlled with air conditioning and heat. The interior fresh water tank, allows the unit to be used where no water access is available. The self contained waste water tank will serve large crowds in between servicing.
Portable Restroom Trailers is proud to be part of the rebuilding process. This Fourth of July we celebrated the strength we have shown as a nation as we overcome this tragedy.
