“Water was temporarily turned off overnight while crews identified the source of the leak and made repairs,” hospital officials told KFOR. “Water has been restored to the building, and we are currently testing the water quality.”
The hospital gave bottled water to patients and staff and had a plan in place for the emergency, officials said.
The leak’s first-floor location prompted the hospital to reschedule all outpatient mammography procedures set for the remainder of the week and reschedule a few surgeries. All other patient care areas are active.
