GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz.
— The main pipeline providing water to the Grand Canyon National Park has failed after a series of breaks, leading to a sudden and sweeping shutdown of overnight hotel stays during one of the busiest times of the year for the famous tourist destination.
But four recent significant breaks have brought overnight accommodations to a halt, including at El Tovar, Bright Angel Lodge, Maswik Lodge and Phantom Ranch. Since July 8, officials said, the park has faced challenges with its water supply, and no water is currently being pumped to either the canyon’s south or north rims.
By Wednesday evening, however, she told The Associated Press via Facebook message that she was able to book a different hotel outside the park. She said she hoped the water restrictions would mean"less traffic and people.” “The Grand Canyon is known not only throughout the U.S., but throughout the world, and people love visiting it,” he said.
In the meantime, under the current water restrictions, officials are asking residents and visitors to help conserve water by limiting showers to five minutes or less, turning off faucets while shaving or brushing teeth, flushing toilets selectively, and washing laundry only with full loads.
