Emergency workers in Anderson County, S.C., shuttled water to hospitals and nursing homes to try to keep air-conditioning operations running after a recent treatment plant failure, according to an article on the Greenville Online website.
The low water pressure coupled with uncertainty over whether the water was safe to drink left businesses, schools, hospitals and government offices either closed or relying on portable hydration — all the result of the failure of a pipe that pumps the area's water from Lake Hartwell, the article said.
The American Red Cross dispatched volunteers to help the responders.
AnMed restricted visitation and use bottled water for patient care needs, hospital spokesman Ross Norton said. Some surgical patients were diverted to other hospitals.
