Liner troubles prompt repairs for Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after renovations
Renovations drained the 2,030-foot Reflecting Pool and installed a tinted polyurea liner, but after refilling the pool showed algae growth and paint issues on the bottom. Five people were arrested for vandalism and five others cited as investigations continue. The National Park Service plans another drain-down after Independence Day to assess and repair the liner, adding to a history of leaks and deterioration in the pool.
