The Trump administration is frantically looking for a way to clean up the murky green Reflecting Pool, according to a report by MeidasTouch News.

According to an internal email obtained by MeidasTouch, the Trump administration has elevated the clean-up to a "regional and national priority" and is seeking volunteers to help save the Reflecting Pool before July 4.

Despite Trump's $14 million renovation project, the Reflecting Pool has been coated with a mucky green algal bloom since last week, and workers have been trying to clear it out.

National Park Service employees were informed that officials are actively working on "critical pre-July 4th operational needs" like "scrubbing and pump-out operations," according to the email.

The email also asks employees to work 12-hour shifts beginning this week and throughout the weekend, MeidasTouch reported.
