YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — Yellowstone National Park (YNP) has announced that water is temporarily unavailable in the Madison area while teams repair a water system.

Areas without water include Madison Campground, Madison Comfort Station and the government housing area. Flush toilets and running water will be unavailable for “at least five days,” according to the park.

The Madison area is located approximately 14 miles east of the YNP’s West Entrance. The park is working to set up temporary restrooms, handwashing stations and potable water in the area. The campground, picnic area and information station will remain open while work is done.

YNP says updates will be provided as they are available.
