From Greg Wischer at the United States Department of the Interior: “After eight years since its last repairs, the George Mason Memorial fountain was recently repaired and beautified. The fountain’s nozzles and controllers were all replaced, and the plaza surrounding the fountain was also rehabilitated, including cleaning of the George Mason statue and masonry work, as well as repairing and painting of the pergola. The first photo below shows the fountain, which is located on the north end of East Potomac Park. In the second photo below, the Washington Monument is in the background, and in the third photo below, the statue of George Mason is in the background.”

From Greg Wischer at the United States Department of the Interior: “The Joan of Arc statue in Meridian Park was cleaned and waxed. Here are photos taken today!”

From Greg Wischer at the United States Department of the Interior: “I visited the Reflecting Pool this morning, and pictures are included below of the pool reflecting and the American Flag Blue color.
 
As you can tell, many of the photos posted in the New York Times articles were taken after the largest fireworks show in history—which had launch points alongside the pool—deposited significant debris in the pool.
 
The Reflecting Pool has been partially refilled to allow National Park Service staff and contractors to flush the pool’s piping system for the first time in more than a decade. After years of neglect by previous administrations, more than half of the 58 water supply ports were so clogged that they were deemed nonfunctioning. This work is ongoing. We waited until after July 4th to do. Coming out great!
 
The National Park Service has also, for the second time, cleaned the granite, pressure washed the sidewalk, and removed several hazardous trees next to the Reflecting Pool. Will be opening in a few weeks. Will be a beauty. NO VANDALS PLEASE.”
