The Nemours Reflecting Pool project includes a renovation to the pool basin, fountain, and surrounding sculptures and stonework. The fountain features will be restored to their original glory while a new basin and updated pumps/piping will allow the fountain system to operate more efficiently. All existing stonework will be restored and treated to better withstand exposure to the natural element. The one-acre reflecting pool has 157 jets and holds 800,000 gallons of water.
