Water Line Bursts Inside Allegheny General Hospital

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Allegheny General Hospital is working on repairs after a 3-inch water line burst, flooding parts of the hospital.

Officials say the hospital has implemented its Emergency Operations Plan as a result.

However, officials say they are still accepting emergency patients and that "the impact to patients has been limited to transport issues."
