Grand Canyon National Park is imposing mandatory water conservation measures for the South Rim due to diminished supplies.
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK — Grand Canyon National Park announced Tuesday that it is reimplementing mandatory water conservation measures again for the South Rim due to diminished supplies.
Park officials said the water saving measures were effective immediately as crews cannot pump water from Roaring Springs to the South Rim to replenish water stores.Park officials said all park residents and visitors are being told to conserve and reduce water usage wherever possible in homes, hotel rooms and campgrounds.
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.
