Grand Canyon National Park is imposing mandatory water conservation measures for the South Rim due to diminished supplies.
All concessions operations must switch to disposable dishes and utensils and alter menus to use less water for food preparation and dish washing.
Operators also must adopt low water use for hotel room cleaning and serve drinking water at park restaurants by request only.Last year, the park implemented similar conservation measures on the South Rim in parts of July, August and September until the water tank levels returned to normal. Crews also had to repair a major pipeline break discovered Sept. 3 in the inner canyon along the North Kaibab Trail.
