What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

The National Park Service is managing the rehabilitation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a project that involved filtration and repainting work. Officials reported that a liner along the pool's bottom was cut with a sharp knife or razor during the rehabilitation project. The pool also experienced prolific algae growth following the application of 'American flag-blue' paint. To combat the algae, workers were observed pouring high-strength hydrogen peroxide into the water.
