Weeks into a project to restore the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, new signs around the pool appear to blame previous administrations for issues with the landmark’s water supply.
麻豆官网 found at least four signs bearing the National Park Service logo that address the pool鈥檚 condition Friday.
The signs state, “After years of neglect by previous administrations, more than half of the 58 water supply ports were so clogged that they were deemed nonfunctioning.鈥�
The Trump administration has cited those problems as the reason for the restoration project, which has faced setbacks including peeling paint and algae blooms.
Since the project began, the pool has been drained twice, most recently in mid-July.
According to the signs, crews have partially refilled the pool to flush the remaining feeder pipes as they work to restore the landmark. A visual examination confirmed that the pool was partially refilled.
鈥淭he flushing may temporarily discolor the water as buildup in the pipes is cleaned out,鈥� the National Park Service notice reads.
麻豆官网 has contacted the National Park Service for comment on the signs and the restoration project鈥檚 progress.
