If you are a resident in the City of Azle, you are coping with our recent loss of water. Thank goodness water has now been restored and we are waiting on the boiling order to be lifted.
I have had several people inquire about how the water outage affects hospital operations. I wanted to address this briefly:
- The patients currently in the hospital at Texas Health Azle are being well taken care of during this brief water outage. The hospital has more than a week supply of water on back-up reserve in the event of an emergency.
- Our patient’s safety and health is most important to us at this time.
- We have brought in bottled water and fresh ice for our patients and their family members.
- As of this morning, the city of Azle has restored water to the area. The hospital is following the city’s recommendations to boil any water before use for the next 24 hours.
- Elective surgeries have been cancelled for today.
- Patients who need to be admitted to the hospital in Azle have been diverted to Texas Health Fort Worth for the next 24 hours.
We are constantly evaluating the situation and making the most prudent decisions with our patient’s health and well-being in mind. If you have questions, please feel free to leave me a comment and we will respond!
- Winjie Tang Miao, president
