I’d never been to the reflecting pool until the summer of 2010. It was probably the nastiest place that you could imagine....and it was best to stay a good fifty feet away from the water. My recommendation....if they can’t fix the algae problem...let’s just fill the place in with dirt, grass and trees.
Back in ‘76 it was beautiful, the water was never still (even though it looked like it) and I saw people wading in it (wasn’t allowed but nobody made it an issue). No fish in it. I think the one statement “ It was a green project” probably sums it all up. Where was the zinc paint liner? The anti algae additives?
The scum never retreats.
