Park officials said all park residents and visitors are being told to conserve and reduce water usage wherever possible in homes, hotel rooms and campgrounds.People living at the Grand Canyon and visitors are being asked to conserve water. The National Park Service says its unable to pump water right now from Roaring Springs to the South rim because of diminished supplies and difficulties treating the water. Hikers are being urged to carry their own water or treat water themselves.

All concessions operations must switch to disposable dishes and utensils and alter menus to use less water for food preparation and dish washing. Operators also must adopt low water use for hotel room cleaning and serve drinking water at park restaurants by request only.RelatedGrand Canyon park officials say the only area that was affected is Phantom Ranch and the immediate surrounding area.

Last year, the park implemented similar conservation measures on the South Rim in parts of July, August and September until the water tank levels returned to normal.BREAKING NEWS
