摘要
- 华盛顿特区水务局再次签发倒影池排空许可
- 特朗普在无证据情况下称破坏者造成损坏，威胁将涉事者处以监禁
- 1470万美元联邦翻新工程完工数周后，出现漆面剥落与藻类爆发
- 承包公司表示将凭保修协议修复水池
华盛顿6月22日路透电 — 华盛顿国家广场的林肯纪念堂倒影池将再次排空维修，该水池在耗资1470万美元的翻新工程完工数周后出现藻类与漆面剥落问题。与此同时，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普威胁将对任何破坏该水池的人处以监禁。
华盛顿特区水务局周一表示，已签发许可，允许对这座长2000英尺（约合609米）的长方形水池进行排空作业，而维修承包公司表示将根据保修协议对水池进行修复。

美国国家公园管理局未立即回复置评请求。
特朗普6月6日宣布该翻新工程完工后不久，水池中就出现了漆面剥落与藻类滋生的情况。外界对这项未经过招标的翻新合同提出了担忧，该合同旨在在下个月美国建国250周年庆祝活动前为水池重新涂装，同时也引发了对依赖水池水体生存的鸭子的担忧。
本周早些时候，美国国家公园管理局的工作人员已经向水池中投放过氧化氢以抑制藻类生长。
特朗普在没有证据的情况下，将这处历史地标出现的问题归咎于破坏者。周一，他呼应了美国检察官珍妮娜·皮尔罗周末的威胁，称将起诉任何被指控试图破坏水池的人。
“请记住，破坏此类设施——甚至仅是试图破坏——将面临10年监禁，这一规定将得到严格执行！”特朗普在社交媒体帖子中写道。
破坏联邦财产最高可判处10年监禁。
据媒体援引一名政府官员的消息报道，目前已有至少五人被捕，其中包括一名公开否认指控的前奥运选手，另有五人收到了传票。美国公园警察未立即回复置评请求。
负责此次翻新工程的公司是总部位于弗吉尼亚州的大西洋工业涂料公司，该公司周日表示，需要维修的区域仅占这个占地7英亩（约合2.83公顷）大型项目的“极小一部分”，并不表明池衬出现了故障。

Summary
DC Water issues permit to drain historic landmark, again
Trump, without evidence, says vandals caused damage, threatens jail time
Peeling paint, algae blooms appear weeks after $14.7 million federal renovation
Company says it will repair pool under warranty
WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) – The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Washington’s National Mall is set to be drained again for repairs after algae and peeling paint appeared just weeks after a $14.7 million renovation, while President Donald Trump threatened prison time for anyone caught damaging the pool.
The DC Water authority issued a permit to drain the 2,000-foot-long (609-meter) rectangular pool, it said Monday, while the repair company said it would fix the pool as part of its warranty.

The National Park Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Peeling paint and algae growth have been visible in the pool since soon after Trump declared the renovation project complete on June 6. Concerns have been raised about the no-bid contract to recoat the pool before the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations next month, as well as for the ducks that use its water.
Workers from the National Park Service earlier this week poured hydrogen peroxide into the pool to combat the algae.
Trump, without evidence, has blamed vandals for the state of the landmark. On Monday, he echoed a weekend threat by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to prosecute people accused of attempting to destroy the pool.
“Please remember that there is a 10-year prison sentence for the destruction, or even the attempted destruction, of such things – Which will be fully enforced!” Trump wrote in a social media post.
Destruction of federal property can carry a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
At least five people have been arrested, including a former Olympian who publicly denied the charges, while five others were issued citations, according to media reports citing an administration official. The U.S. Park Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The company responsible for the renovation work, Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings, said on Sunday the areas that required repairs made up “a very small part of the massive 7-acre (2.83-hectare) project, and do not indicate a failure of the liner.”
