Texas hospitals suffer from water issues amid widespread power outages By Caitlin O Kane Texas faces water crisis as death toll climbs
Following a deadly storm that swept through Texas this week, widespread power outages and water issues have impacted millions of people in the state. Hospitals have suffered, with some having to restrict water use and transport patients to other facilities.
St. David s HealthCare said in a statement to CBS News on Thursday that its South Austin Medical Center lost water pressure and was restricting water usage.
The city of Austin is now under a boil water notice due to a power outage at the The Ullrich Water Treatment Plant, the city s largest water treatment facility, and drops in water pressures below minimum standards.
