Instead, it stretched for nearly two months and ultimately cost taxpayers an estimated $14 million.<\/p>\n<p>The problems began almost immediately after the pool reopened earlier this month. <\/p>\n<p>Within days, a major algae bloom turned much of the water green, undermining Trump\u2019s promise of a more picturesque landmark. <\/p>\n<p>Researchers who analyzed satellite imagery later found higher algal levels in the pool than at any point in June over the previous five years.<\/p>\n<p>Federal workers have since spent days vacuuming algae from the 6.5-million-gallon pool and treating the water with hydrogen peroxide. <\/p>\n<p>The project has also drawn scrutiny over the awarding of a $1.7 million water-purification contract to a company linked to longtime Trump donor, and convicted felon, John J. Cafaro, according to a New York Times report.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Department of the Interior spokeswoman Katie Martin said the agency had no idea about Cafaro\u2019s political ties and chose Greenwater because it \u201chad the expertise, workforce and materials\u201d to finish on time, she told the Times.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1821\">Trump\u2019s Unexpected Pet Name for Barron Revealed<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump has found a new suspect in the mystery of the National Mall\u2019s struggling Reflecting Pool: ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl.
