Grand Canyon National Park Evening Update | Sept. 4

Grand Canyon National Park and our partners continued taking steps today to conserve the South Rim’s stored water supply while teams work to assess and address damage to the Transcanyon Waterline.

Drinking water distribution will be available tomorrow at two locations for residents only:

Facilities Management Division building, 1574 Shuttle Bus Road, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Desert View, 1043 Colter Rd from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Fresh-water toilets at the Bright Angel Trailhead have been closed to conserve water, and portable toilets have been delivered to support visitor needs.

Our park partners are also taking significant steps to reduce demand on the potable water system. Between NPS and Xanterra, 200 employee offices are being temporarily moved to buildings served by reclaimed water.

Food service operations are also being consolidated. Maswik Dining is closing, with food service consolidated at Bright Angel and El Tovar. Food service operations have switched to disposable dining ware, and pots and pans are being transported to facilities in Tusayan for washing rather than using the park’s potable water supply.

These actions are part of the community-wide effort to conserve every gallon possible. How long our stored water lasts depends significantly on how much water we collectively use. Every gallon conserved gives the park more time and flexibility as important work continues to address the damaged water system.

Thank you to our employees, partners, residents and visitors for continuing to conserve water and support one another.

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are emergency information for your area, sent directly to your phone by government officials, which include National Weather Service warnings for destructive wind and hail, tornadoes, hurricanes, and flash floods.

Keep your WEAs enabled! Look under the settings menu for notifications or safety options, locate the government or emergency alert section, and toggle the switches ON for emergency and public safety alerts. 🚨

NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a great way to stay informed of the latest, real-time weather conditions, forecasts, and of course watches, warnings and advisories issued directly from your National Weather Service. 📻

Most NWRs allow you to set your location, so you’ll only receive emergency alerts for your area. And the portable NWR option is perfect for camping trips when cell phone service may be unreliable! 🏕️weather.gov/nwr/
