Grand Canyon National Park is under mandatory water conservation measures as of Tuesday morning.
A water line break along the North Kaibab Trail is impacting the park’s water supply. Campers and backcountry hikers are urged to minimize water use.
Officials said there is no water at a rest stop, and hikers should plan to carry or treat their own water.
In August and September, a break closed overnight hotel lodging at the park.
The 12.5 mile-long Transcanyon Waterline, originally built in the 1960s, supplies potable water for facilities on the South Rim and inner canyon. Park officials say it has exceeded its expected lifespan.
Since 2010, there have been more than 85 major breaks that disrupted water delivery, but none that have forced what park officials call “Stage 4” water restrictions. That is, until four recent significant breaks.
