The New York Times reported<\/u> late on Thursday that a business owned by a longtime Trump supporter and key donor, John J. Cafaro, was given a no-bid $1.7 million contract to install a water-purification system in the reflecting pool. An Interior Department spokesperson told the Times that Cafaro\u2019s Ohio-based firm, Greenwater Services, has set up temporary water-purification sites at the pool and will install a permanent system this week. The official also denied knowledge of Cafaro\u2019s political links and said his firm was picked \u201cbecause they had the expertise, workforce and materials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, the Cultural Landscape Foundation, a nonprofit group, sued the Trump<\/u> administration in federal court over the repainting of the Reflecting Pool. In the , the plaintiffs had argued that the repainting was \u201cblatantly unlawful\u201d and that the pool floor\u2019s dark grey is a deliberate design choice. The filing also noted that the dark-colored floor created the \u201cillusion of greater depth and a more profound reflection.\u201d The non-profit\u2019s President and CEO, Charles Birnbaum, said at the time: \u201cA blue-tinted basin is more appropriate to a resort or theme park.\u201d The suit urges the court to block the repair work and restore the pool to its original color.<\/p>\n
