@emilymillerdc: WATER OFF? I was at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool today to report on the latest and noticed that the water port was no longer bubbling. Watch my exclusive report. I asked contractor Eddie Wood of Atlantic Industrial Coating what was happening. The National Park Service started refilling the landmark Thursday morning, but the water flow has already been slowed down. I’m the only reporter on the ground tracking this delay and getting answers. According to Wood, they intentionally turned the water down “so it doesn’t flood us out while we’re working.” Despite the temporary slowdown, crews are still pushing to meet the June 10 completion deadline I previously exclusively reported. My next report will show you exactly what they’re doing in these final repairs before that deadline. Hit notifications @emilymillerdc for breaking Washington D.C. news updates! 🇺🇸. #washingtondc #LincolnMemorial #Running #reflectingpool #trump
First it was “it won’t reflect” then “it was a no bid contract” then “it wont work” now it is “it has to be leaking”

Are yall really complaining that they are checking everything. Fill it some and look for bubbles to see if they missed spot. They’ll patch a good portion for a little leak. Won’t cost more. Why complain?

Do you fill the pool all the way up to see if it leaks or just a little bit 🤷🏽♂️

It’s called a test. Pretty standard practice for any repair job, especially when plumbing is being done, to stress test or leak test periodically.

Just guessing but if they fill it in increments and then pause to check the level, they can get a better idea where any leak is.

Does anyone realize good contractors check, double check, touch up and sometimes return months later to do additional touch ups or repairs?

Thats what you do to check if there are any leaks. Add volume. Shut off, see if volume decreases. If good, no loss of water, turn back in to fill. Really not had to deduce.

Because they don’t know that water will reflect regardless the color of the paint underneath…. And that the algae will be back within a month…… like always
