Despite the unhinged vandalism targeting the Reflecting Pool (and nearby grass and World War II Memorial), the Reflecting Pool will soon be opened in a condition better than ever before in its 100+ year history. The pool's vandalism damage, which was significant, is being fixed. The pool's water valves, which were falling apart, are now being replaced. The pipes, which were clogged, have been flushed clean. The pool, which leaked like a sieve, is sealed. The sidewalks, which had filth and grime, have been pressure washed. The granite coping stone, which was gray and discolored, is now shiny white. The water treatment system, which was clearly ineffective before, has been replaced with a state-of-the-art nanobubbler system.
