Reflecting pool contractor tried cleaning Tijuana River too
The president appears to be having a harder time cleaning the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool than the sewage-contaminated Tijuana River, even though he used the same contractor for both. The New York Times revealed over the weekend that Greenwater Services won a $1.7 million no-bid contract to install a water purification system in the pool located on the National Mall earlier this spring. But now that work has come under scrutiny after algal blooms overtook the pool, turning it a vibrant shade of green. Meanwhile, Greenwater executives claim their treatment of the Tijuana River went extremely well. Greenwater won a $2.5 million no-bid contract last year to do experimental water treatment on the Tijuana River. … The experiment didn’t go perfectly. An October 2025 storm swept away their equipment trailers and virtually ended the experiment.
