Carlsbad Caverns will be closed Friday due to freezing and breaking of the main water distribution pipe that supplies water to the park. Due to freezing temperatures, about 100 feet of the main water line froze and broke.
The pipe supplies water to the visitor center, offices, and residential housing.
Park staff is determining a temporary fix to get water supplied to those places while a long-term solution is considered.
