Grand Canyon Floods Disrupt Water, Tourism | US News

Flash floods slammed the Grand Canyon, shredding its main water pipeline and forcing emergency water bans and overnight tourist shutdowns.

Now, a $208 million pipeline upgrade project is on hold, with its timeline in jeopardy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
