The metro has also deployed water tankers to Universitas Hospital, Pelonomi Hospital and Rosepark Hospital in Bloemfontein.

Free State Health Department spokesperson, Mondli Mvambi, informed OFM News on Tuesday that surgeries at the Universitas and Pelonomi Hospitals have had to be postponed due to water interruptions and they will for now be prioritising high-risk and life-threatening surgeries. 

The troubled pipeline has caused some parts of the city to be without water since last week Thursday.
