🌊🚨 Update on Bridgend Hospital’s Water Outage 🚨🌊
Big news from the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend! On Tuesday evening, the A&E department had to temporarily stop accepting emergency patients due to a significant water supply issue. Patients were advised to head to other hospitals, and all on-site visits were put on pause.
However, the situation is looking up! 🔧💧 The Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board has confirmed that the water supply issue is being resolved, and the emergency department is open to patients again. They thanked everyone for their patience as they worked with Welsh Water to sort everything out. More updates are expected tomorrow.
A little background: Earlier, the health board flagged a “significant” water supply problem and teamed up with Welsh Water to tackle it. Interestingly, Welsh Water clarified that the supply issues weren’t linked to them but assured the community that their engineers were on-site supporting the hospital. Tankers were also sent to help boost the water supply. 🚚
