The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park invoked Stage 3 water restrictions in recent days due to ongoing challenges in water delivery from Roaring Springs.
As of Friday:
- Lodge and restaurant operations are encouraged to reduce water usage where practicable.
- Residents and visitors are required to reduce flushing in homes and hotels.
- Residents and visitors are required to limit shower time and turn off sinks while brushing teeth and shaving.
- Restrooms at the visitor center and outside Grand Canyon Lodge are closed. Portable toilets are available.
- Campground restrooms and RV dump stations remain open.
- Water spigots are on at the campground, Admin building, North Kaibab Trailhead, and Visitor Center.
- Water usage is being closely monitored by utility staff.
- Employees and residents are encouraged to continue practicing water-saving efforts and report any leaks as repair efforts continue.
The park experienced multiple electrical and mechanical issues in early June, including a malfunctioning pump at Roaring Springs Pumphouse. The pump was repaired, but a transmission fluid leak was discovered shortly after restarting the system. That required another shutdown and contractors are expected to initiate further repairs.
Grand Canyon's South Rim is open year-round, but the less visited North Rim is closed in winter. July is usually the park's busiest month, and the water restrictions come amid the July Fourth holiday weekend. Visitors should check the park's website for the latest information on water restrictions, weather and closures.
