Hotels and lodges at the Grand Canyon’s South Rim will reopen for overnight stays on Wednesday after a week-long closure due to water pipeline breaks. El Tovar, Bright Angel Lodge, Maswik Lodge, Yavapai Lodge, and Trailer Village will welcome visitors, although some campground water spigots will remain off and fire restrictions are still in place. Repairs to the Transcanyon Waterline were completed, but the park will maintain enhanced water restrictions until storage tanks are adequately filled. The ongoing $208 million rehabilitation of the pipeline, built in the 1960s, aims to prevent future breaks and ensure reliable water delivery.
