The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool turned green again days after a $14.8 million renovation aimed at addressing algae growth and leaks. Critics argue the project bypassed standard procedures and failed to resolve structural issues, while the Trump administration claimed it fixed the problem, attributing the green hue to residual algae.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool developed algae soon after its $14.2 million renovation was completed. The Interior Department attributed the algae to residual buildup from unused supply lines during construction and stated crews are removing it using a new filtration system. President Donald Trump has publicly promoted the renovation project.
