WASHINGTON 鈥� The World War II Memorial鈥檚 pool will be drained this weekend, the National Park Service announced Friday.
The memorial鈥檚 Rainbow Pool and other water features will be drained on Sunday, June 25 so the park service can replace the current incandescent light fixtures with high efficiency lighting.
The World War II Memorial鈥檚 draining is not related to the . Last week, the National Park Service drained and cleaned the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after a parasite killed 80 ducklings there.
The World War II Memorial pools will be refilled and operational again on Friday, June 30, National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said. The work is scheduled at a time to avoid any Honor Flights planning to visit the memorial, Litterst said.
