It is approximately 2,029 feet (618 m) long (over a third of a mile) and 167 feet (51 m) wide. The perimeter of the pool is therefore 4,392 feet (1,339 m), about 0.83 miles around. It has a depth of approximately 18 inches (46 cm) on the sides and 30 inches (76 cm) in the center. It holds approximately 6,750,000 U.S. gallons (25,500,000 L) of water]]> 2019-04-26 16:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/skolnyi25/uqxxmvzkknda/wish/354526675 skolnyi25 https://padlet.com/skolnyi25/uqxxmvzkknda/wish/354526883 Within weeks of the pool's reopening in 2012, it had to be drained and cleaned at a cost of $100,000 due to algae in the pool. The algae growth was so extensive it almost completely covered the surface of the pool.^[7] Using an ozone disinfectant system installed during the renovation,^[8] the National Park Service said it would double the amount of algae-killing ozone in the pool to control future outbreaks.^[7]]]> 2019-04-26 16:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/skolnyi25/uqxxmvzkknda/wish/354526883 petithommemk25 https://padlet.com/skolnyi25/uqxxmvzkknda/wish/354526907 The Air and Space museum gives facts about the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo missions which includes the first moon landing.

The pool's water supply system was updated to eliminate stagnant water by circulating water from the Tidal Basin; the pool was formerly filled using potable water from the city. Paved walking paths were added to the north and south sides of the pool to replace worn grass and to prevent further erosion.^[4] Construction on the 18-month, $30.74 million project began in November 2010. In May 2011, workers began sinking the first of 2,113 wood pilings into a 40-foot deep layer of soft, marshy river clay and some dredged material atop bedrock to support a new pool.^[5] The pool reopened on August 31, 2012. The project was managed by the Louis Berger Group.^[6]]]> 2019-04-26 16:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/skolnyi25/uqxxmvzkknda/wish/354527367 skolnyi25 https://padlet.com/skolnyi25/uqxxmvzkknda/wish/354527815 When the monument was under construction in 1854, the Washington National Monument Society ran out of money and the project ground to a halt.
