Algae Returns to White House Reflecting Pool Days After $14 Million Renovation
The White House Reflecting Pool reopened following a $14 million renovation project, but algae reportedly returned to its waters within days. The extensive clean-up aimed to restore the pool's structure and achieve a visually striking "American Flag Blue" water tone. Despite the renovation, the pool's water turned bright green shortly after reopening.
The White House Reflecting Pool recently reopened after undergoing a $14 million renovation. The project's primary goals were to repair the pool's structure, improve its overall integrity, and ensure the water appeared clean with a distinctive "American Flag Blue" hue.
However, within days of its reopening, algae reportedly reappeared in the pool, causing the water to revert to a bright green color.
Department of Interior Spokesperson Katie Martin stated that the pool is now being properly maintained.
