The Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial is once again filled with water following President Donald Trump’s renovations.

Crews began work in April after Trump announced plans to repaint the landmark’s floor in what he calls “American flag blue.”

“It was always leaking,” Trump said of the pool while speaking about the renovation in the Oval Office last week. “So it’s pretty amazing what’s happened and, you know, I hate to say it won’t leak, but it won’t leak. Because we use a material that doesn’t allow leaks.”
While Trump put the cost of the project at around $1.5 million to $2 million, federal records indicate that around $14 million worth of contracts have been awarded so far.
The Reflecting Pool’s refilling comes days after an arena was installed on the White House South Lawn in preparation for a UFC fight on June 14 to celebrate Trump’s birthday and America’s 250th anniversary.
