The water main break means there's no running water for flushing toilets or drinking. All elective and non-urgent surgeries and procedures are being cancelled and rescheduled.
RELATED: Nova Scotia has taken a first step towards a major hospital expansion project. The construction is years behind the original schedule under the previous government, and the final cost remains. As Zack Power reports, the government views the QEII expansion project as a key piece in replacing aging health-care infrastructure.
According to a release from Nova Scotia Health, the “significant water event” is due to a broken water main line in the steam plant. The break has resulted in the loss of water and steam for all buildings on campus, which includes the infirmary, Veterans Memorial Building and Abbie J. Lane.“There is currently no running water for flushing toilets or drinking.
Meanwhile, outpatient blood collection at the Halifax Infirmary has been closed for Wednesday. Those with appointments can head to the Bayer’s Road Blood Collection at 7071 Bayers Road Suite 141 at the time of their scheduled appointment or book a new one.Jury selected in Alberta border blockade mischief trial11-year-old boy dies at south Edmonton home where other dog attacks recently occurred
