GRAND CANYON, Ariz. – Effective immediately, Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim will transition to Stage 2 water restrictions due to rising water levels in reservoir tanks.

Operational changes include:
• Camper Services, operated by Delaware North, will reopen to the public.
• Water spigots in Mather Campground and Desert View Campground will be turned on.

Despite these changes, water restrictions remain in place on the South Rim. Visitors and residents are urged to reduce water consumption by following these practices: flush toilets selectively, take shorter showers, wash clothes and dishes only with full loads and in eco-mode if available, and turn off the sink while brushing teeth, soaping hands, or shaving.

This transition to Stage 2 is a step toward normalizing park operations while ensuring the sustainable management of water resources. We appreciate the cooperation and patience of our visitors and community members as we continue to restore these essential services.
