Days after a multi-million dollar renovation, green algae is still visible in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool
As efforts were underway to tackle the algae bloom and peeling "American Flag Blue" sealant on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Thursday, contractors dealing with bodies of water around the country looked on with their own ideas of how to fix the problem.
President Donald Trump’s $14 million pet project to resurface the 2,000-foot pool, which was supposed to make the water appear an “American flag blue,” has turned green after becoming infested with algae just days after completion.
US President Donald Trump promised to ‘fix’ the landmark, but it’s been plagued with problems despite the multi-million dollar overhaul.
A business tied to a longtime supporter of President Trump was given a no-bid contract to install a water-purification system in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool earlier this spring.
