a $208 million rehabilitation project has been underway since 2023.

And so far, they have rehabilitated ... 20 feet of pipeline?

Sounds like your typical government “mal-management” of affairs.

They used to water into the park by rail. Time to do it again?

Volcanos are popping off all over the world.

The road to the South Rim is solidly volcanic ground

You boys have no idea.

AZ is running OUT, of water.

Nearly anywhere in this state, other than along the Rivers, you poke a hole in the ground to get water and over 80% of the time youll end up paying for a dry hole. It cost an average of over 100 thousand to drill for water.

This state....is running OUT OF WATER!

They will have to repair that line. To do it, the state needs to take over the management of that park and BTW. The fire was primarily akin to a prescribed burn.

The waterline supplying the South Rim was built in the 1960s and has “exceeded its expected lifespan,” according to the news release. It fails frequently, requiring “expensive and continuous maintenance work to repair leaks,” the park said, and a $208 million rehabilitation project has been underway since 2023.

Rest assured, as a National Park, the Government is in charge of fixing the waterline.

Translation; We want to completely close these hotels permanently. To accomplish that we will close them because we need to replace an entire water pipeline which will need to be funded by Congress, require environmental impact studies and take 7 years to accomplish.
And the North Rim the Park Service successfully burned will never reopen.

Just watch.

Meanwhile we’ve probably wasted 500 billion on Ukraine, a couple of trillion on other wars of fun and profit in the Middle East.

But we cannot manage to do projects like this fast, or often at all.

rehabbling that water pipe sounds like Californication’s famous Bullet Train project?
