The water break occurred June 18, and a boil water advisory was in place as of June 19.
“Water pressure and cooling have now been restored at Scottish Rite Hospital and we have lifted our trauma diversion. We are resuming scheduled surgeries tomorrow at all sites,” Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta said in a June 19 statement to the news outlet. “We are working with county and infection prevention experts for optimal patient safety and will continue to follow the boil water advisory until it is lifted by the Department of Watershed Management. We will resume standard services tomorrow that can be provided with alternative water sources including bottled and sterile water.”
Some of the surgeries have been rescheduled for the week of June 26, according to the report.
