“The Transcanyon Water Distribution Pipeline, which is 12½ miles long and about 50 years old, has had 85 major breaks since 2010. It is beyond its expected useful life.”
“Due to continued pipeline breaks, the Grand Canyon has entered Stage 4 water restrictions, meaning only dry camping is allowed, and spigots will be turned off at South Rim campsites.”
“Officials state that the only water source for both the North and South Rims has been shut down, forcing hotels in the park to halt overnight lodging.”
“Residents and visitors at the Grand Canyon are reminded to conserve water by limiting showers, turning off faucets, and reporting leaks to preserve the dwindling water supply.”
