PLEASE tell me Trump didn't fill the Reflecting Pool with city water!

DC Water, the city water utility for the District of Columbia, has a really huge problem: the water system in that city has A LOT of lead pipes in it. They've replaced all the mains with lead-free pipe, but there are an estimated 42,000 lead branch pipes in daily service. The city estimates the last one will be replaced in 2037. To help mitigate the problem until they can change them all, they put a chemical in the water that creates a thin layer of protection.

The chemical is called Orthophosphate. It does the job very well. The layer washes away if it isn't replenished, so orthophosphate is always in DC's water to create a self-healing coating.

Orthophosphate is also algae fertilizer.

Part of the renovation President Obama did to the Reflecting Pool involved pulling untreated water out of the Potomac Tidal Basin to fill the Pool. Since Trump is actively trying to erase everything Democratic Presidents ever did, it wouldn't be out of character if he put the Pool back on city water.

1. Whatever Trump does, you can be sure that he's doing it wrong.

2. Are all District of Columbia goldfish bowls green?

8. They wouldn't need to be

Every pet store that sells fish supplies sells products that remove algae from aquarium water without harming fishes or the plants you intentionally put in there. These are either chemicals or algae-eating fishes.

3. No that water

Is piped in from the sewer lines from the Capital and White House. That stuff is too toxic for the waste water treatment center. This is the most eutrophic water source on earth. The shit that flows from those buildings 24/7 from orifice’s at both ends of GQP, is more than every pig in the history of earth.
The most prominent macro invertebrate found in a water source that is extremely toxic with nutrient enrichment, especially from fecal matter dumped into the water, are Dipterans, multiple species of fly larvae 💦💩🪰🦗. Willing to bet that pond is thick with those larvae that will emerge as adult species that will swarm DC, bringing diseases RFK Jr would welcome as immune booster.
But that is just woke science, “lies straight from the gates of hell”. (Quote from a GQP white Christian politician back from Obama term). An edumacated
man.
jmowreader is probably much more accurate.😉
But fecal wastewater is also a prolific algae fertilizer.
Lots of RICH political fecal material in the DC swamps. Some people say.
Thank you for your attention to this fecal matter.

4. There is absolutely no reason why this Reflection poole becomes compromised with algae

Reflecting pools have been successful for thousands of years....go look at Roman times for example.... I never heard of acute issues with our reflecting pool until now..... so, is this another distraction scheme.... I think so....

5. By the current looks of it I though it was hooked up directly to his gold toilet

6. Definitely not out of character...

To not what the hell he is doing

7. Of course - the fucking asshole wanted something Obama did.

This man's derangement syndrome is psychotic.
