Parasite Kills About 80 Ducks In Lincoln Memorial Pool

BALTIMORE (WJZ)– There has a problem lurking in the water at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.
The National Park Service says during a two-day period last month, approximately 80 ducks were found dead in the pool.
The problem is a water borne parasite that was found in the snails that live in the pool.
This weekend, the Park Service will be draining out the water.
The pool will then be thoroughly cleaned and then refilled. The process should take about a week.
