Portions of the sealant that was recently applied at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as part of a series of renovations to the landmark appears to have begun peeling off the pool basin on June 18.
Images published by Getty Images show a tear in the sealant and portions of the "American Flag Blue" paint floating to the surface. The images show the latest in a series of problems that have arisen in the wake of the repainting of the reflecting pool as a part of renovations commissioned by President Donald Trump.
Trump announced the plan to refurbish the pool in April, saying the landmark had been the subject of complaints due to its cleanliness levels and leaking foundation. The National Park Service told USA TODAY the pool had leaked 16 million gallons a year.
He told reporters that contractors would sandblast, caulk and resurface the pool basin. The pool is part of a citywide initiative to spruce up landmarks ahead of the Fourth of July and celebrations of the country's 250th birthday.
