TL;DR Summary

With the pool drained, the liner appears gray instead of the touted 'American flag blue,' and the renovation bill has ballooned from about $1.5 million to over $16 million as contractors address cleaning, repainting and waterproofing amid vandalism concerns and related court cases; officials say repairs will proceed and the pool will be refilled after Independence Day fireworks.
