GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. (AP) — Sharon Ellison and Fred Jernigan spent four days hiking and camping from one end of the Grand Canyon to the other, with plans to relax at a hotel within the park on Thursday. But when they reemerged from the jagged canyon at the South Rim, they soon learned they were without accommodations for the night. A series of breaks in the Grand Canyon’s only water pipeline prompted park officials to take unprecedented action with what they call “Stage 4” water restrictions, forcing the sudden shutdown of overnight hotel stays during one of the busiest times of the year. “It’s a precious resource, and we understand that,” Jernigan said Thursday morning. “It’s not really a shock to us.” Since July 8, the park has faced challenges with its water supply and has been implementing various levels of water restrictions. Now, officials said, no water is currently being pumped to the canyon’s south or north rims.

Grand Canyon National Park has announced a suspension of all overnight accommodations on the South Rim, effective Aug. 29, due to a severe water shortage. According to a release from the National Park Service, the measure comes in response to a series of "significant breaks" in the 12.5-mile Transcanyon Waterline, the park's primary water supply system.
