A business tied to a longtime supporter of President Trump was given a no-bid contract to install a water-purification system in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool earlier this spring.
Now that work is coming under scrutiny after algae blooms have come back and turned the iconic pool in Washington a vibrant shade of green rather than the American-flag blue Mr. Trump says he chose.
The contract shows that the National Park Service bypassed the competitive-bidding process that is typically required, and gave a $1.7 million contract to the firm, Greenwater Services of Brookfield, Ohio.

I thought the first bid was much more expensive.
What do you think are the chances that lefties have been dumping algae into the pool?
Yeah. Like $400 million more. The NYT is a joke. Trump got his pool guys to do it.
The Forest service wanted to do it for $300 million.
Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.
The company who did the work that resulted in all this algae, is called Greenwater Services?
Can’t they just find pros to fix a problem?
Someone should impeach him over a that. 😵
Maybe. I sure wouldn’t put it past them.
i’ll do it for cheaper. i’ll hire chinese students to harvest algaE FOR food all year round
I don’t care unless the New York Times can show me that the regular procedures weren’t followed. Most contracts go out for bid. But not all by any stretch of the imagination. MANY contracts go out sole-source and there is a procedure for documenting why that’s in the best interest of the government. If the New York Times has evidence that procedure wasn’t followed, then I’ll give a crap.
Or peeing in it.....they are THAT unhinged and disgusting
Put iron ore tailings in it like the highland lakes around gold mines that are always blue... Lol
OMG, OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. Someone needs to pull the panties out of their crack and give them some smelling salts to revive their petty little lives. the NewyorkSlimes lives up to the name, Slimes. shun all the leftwing medias. You’ll be better informed and not having this garbage dumped on you daily. It’s none of their business who and what citizen companies gets a job from our president. Slimes crawls as low as a snake.
Ooo now they got him
That was an estimate for a larger-scale plan that would have involved environmental engeneering. I think the idea here was to make it look as good as possible for the 4th of July, not any long-term fix. But now the darker coating is causing more algae blooms, and the coating itself seems to be peeling.
Stupid, biased, and propo article by the NYT, as usual.
Well, the name of the company is Greenwater Services! What else would we expect?
Who gives a damned. Dims do it all the time.
I don't really care who does as long as it's done right.
