Damage was reported at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool this month. A liner at the bottom of the pool was cut, causing damage to a foam sealant. The cut is believed to have been made with a sharp knife or razor.

The incident occurred on June 9 and was reported by the National Park Service. The damage is related to a $16 million rehabilitation project that included the installation of the foam sealant. Further details about the incident are available from the National Park Service.

The agency has provided some information about what happened, but additional context can be found through their reports.
