    pathogens (e.g., E. coli)

    Why are they using water with e. coli in it to fill the reflecting pool? Sure, someone might be shitting in it, but on a level that it’s going to effectively contaminate that big a body of water there would be a noticeable amount of poopers.

      Because the pool leaks. There wasn’t a good way to fix that, so rather than use municipal drinking water to fill the pool and have it leak into the swamp, they’re using the tidal water to fill the pool. It’s a significant cost saving measure, so of course this administration hates it.
