Officials at Grand Canyon National Park say staff has repaired damage to a pipeline that supplies water to the South Rim.

Visitors no longer face water restrictions as storage tanks able to hold a roughly two-week reserve can refill.

Officials say the decades-old waterline has broken dozens of times since 2010. A repair often costs more than $25,000.
