OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. \u2013 The reopening of Marvin\u2019s Marvelous Mechanical Museum has been delayed due to plumbing issues discovered beneath the building\u2019s floor and additional complications involving a new payment system, the museum announced.<\/p>\n
In a statement posted to Facebook on Wednesday (May 20), the museum said it had hoped to reopen by the end of the month but will now need to postpone plans while repairs are completed. <\/p>\n
The work includes trenching through concrete to address the plumbing problem.<\/p>\n
Officials said the issue is not unusual for a long-standing shopping mall that has previously housed restaurants, noting that improper disposal practices may have contributed to the damage.<\/p>\n
The museum said its landlord is assisting with efforts to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am glad they discovered this now instead of us opening and having to close for this to be resolved,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
