Blue paint on bottom of Reflecting Pool appears to be peeling away
The Reflecting Pool's 'American Flag Blue' paint is peeling after being coated at the direction of President Donald Trump. Algae has caused the pool to turn green, prompting efforts with nanobubble ozone technology and hydrogen peroxide. The Trump administration cited a $14 million renovation cost, but sections of the paint are now lifting, raising concerns about the project's quality.
