The administration has hired another contractor to help clean and maintain the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. This adds to the costs and questions surrounding the renovation project. The project was intended to be a showcase for the country's 250th anniversary.

The Department of the Interior, which oversees the renovation, will pay $2.7 million to American Ag Energy for repairs and maintenance of the pool's drainage and water purification systems. American Ag Energy is a Massachusetts-based company that specializes in renewable energy technology.

Further details about the contract and the renovation project are available from the source, including information about the government contract and the company's role in the project.
