Rochester General Hospital in Rochester, N.Y., will be studying what caused a construction mishap that broke an 8-inch water main and forced curtailment of some services for about 10 hours, according to an article on the Democrat and Chronicle website.
Hospital executives will conducta root-cause analysis into the incident. there is currently no timetable for when that process would be completed.
The mishap was not related to the construction of the $253 million Sands-Constellation Center for Critical Care, the article said.
The incident happened when as workers were rebuilding a covered walkway between a garage and a medical office building. A piece of digging equipment ruptured the pipe, and water flowed into the hospital boiler room. The boiler had to be shut down.
