A water leak at the Kitchener hospital, formally known as St. Mary’s General Hospital, caused a minor disruption Thursday morning, but staff said the problem has been resolved.

The Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) said the problem started in the water room at the Queen’s Blvd. site and a temporary water source was set up.

“The issue is now fixed,” said Cassandra Easton, the public affairs lead at WRHN. “It was addressed very quickly so there was no impact to patient care.”

Originally, patients were told there could be delays but the issue was resolved before the hospital had to postpone or cancel procedures.
