The Grand Canyon's South Rim is open again. Hotels and lodges will welcome visitors after a break. Overnight stays were stopped for more than one week because of water problems.
Starting Wednesday, people can stay overnight again. They can stay at El Tovar and Bright Angel Lodge. Some water spigots in campgrounds will be off, and fire rules will stay.
The park stopped overnight stays to save water. This was needed to fix the old water pipeline. Many people visit the South Rim; about 41,000 stayed overnight last December.
This is the second time the park stopped overnight stays. They needed to fix the main pipeline that often breaks. Last August, the park had water rules and closed hotels suddenly.
Keeping the water pipeline working is important for the park. The park is fixing the pipeline for $208 million. The park asks people to save water by taking short showers and turning off the faucet.
