An incident occurred at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool this month. The National Park Service reported that the liner at the bottom of the pool was damaged. The damage was caused by a sharp object, either a knife or razor, being used to cut the liner.

This incident has affected a recent rehabilitation project, which cost $16 million. Further details about the June 9 incident are available from the National Park Service, including the full report of what happened and the extent of the damage to the foam sealant.
