GRAND CANYON — Effective immediately, Grand Canyon National Park will implement water conservation measures for the South Rim of the park. These water restrictions are in response to a broken section of pipeline north of Phantom Ranch.
Water conservation measures require all park residents and visitors to conserve and reduce water usage wherever possible in homes, hotel rooms and campgrounds.
Water conservation measures include:
- Reporting and repairing drips, leaks, and other sources of water loss
- Using only reclaimed water to wash vehicles and to irrigate outdoor plants and lawns
- Reduce toilet flushing
- Running dishwashers and washing machines with full loads or in eco-mode
- Reducing shower time and turn off sinks while brushing teeth and shaving.
Thank you for your help conserving water as our crews work to repair the pipeline.

Grand Canyon National Park is a World Heritage Site. The National Park Service cares for the special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage.
