Grand Canyon South Rim Lodges Reopen Wednesday After Waterline Repairs

Repairs stabilize the aging Transcanyon Waterline, with strict conservation continuing during a long-term overhaul.

Overview

  • Overnight stays resume Dec. 17 at El Tovar, Bright Angel, Maswik, Yavapai and Trailer Village, with reservations available.
  • Park officials say utility crews fixed recent breaks and report no new leaks along the 12.5-mile pipeline.
  • Enhanced water restrictions remain as storage tanks refill, including five-minute showers, selective flushing and turning off faucets.
  • Dry camping continues at Mather and Desert View as spigots stay off, with water available at the dump station by the Mather Campground Kiosk.
  • A $208 million rehabilitation of the waterline and delivery system is underway after multiple failures since October.
