It’s been three months since a pipe broke on the roof of the Yarmouth Regional Hospital sending a deluge of water down six floors.
Although no sensitive, expensive medical equipment was affected, the water damage to floors, walls and ceilings was extensive.
The clean-up is continuing.
Health authority spokesman Fraser Mooney says they’re pleased with the progress.
He says workers are about a third of the way through the necessary repairs.
“The contractors are moving along quite quickly. There has been an extension by a few weeks on the original timeline, but with a project this size, you plan on the unexpected.”
Mooney says they’d hoped to have all the work done by late spring.
Now he says it looks like that won’t happen until early July.
Mooney says work is underway now so that doctors who had to relocate can move back to their offices at the hospital complex.
