Uh oh. The Grand Canyon has had a water main break that is impacting overnight stays this Labor Day weekend:
The Arizona park’s Transcanyon Water Distribution Pipeline is 12½ miles long, providing water to both the North and South Rim, and it’s about 50 years old. It has had 85 major breaks since 2010, park officials said in an earlier news release, adding that it “is beyond its expected useful life, experiences frequent failures, and requires expensive and continuous inner canyon maintenance work to repair leaks.”
