Officials at Grand Canyon National Park say water delivery has been fully restored to the North Rim.

It comes two weeks after an electrical failure at the Roaring Springs Pumphouse forced the area of the park to enter stage 1 water conservation measures that resulted in limited water services on the North Rim and prohibited car washing and closed the campground laundry and showers.

Crews have finished electrical repairs and all water restrictions have now been lifted. The park operates year-round on basic water conservation measures.
