NORMAL – Advocate BroMenn Medical Center experienced no disruptions resulting from the boil order in Normal.

Hospital President Colleen Kannady said they have the ability to switch the majority of the facility’s water lines from Normal to Bloomington, which helped keep things running smoothly.

“That was done very early this morning (Friday) for the majority of the hospital, which included areas like our operating rooms, the majority of our inpatient care units, our emergency department, cafeteria, cafe, all of those departments,” she said.

Kannady said for the parts of the hospital they did not switch water lines, they’ve been able to provide bottled water and hand sanitizer. She added they had a good supply of bottled water on hand already.

“And then we procured some additional cases both locally and from our standard vendor,” said Kannady. “We just placed an order and had it delivered earlier today.”

Kannady said the hospital had activated its incident commend to make sure everyone was on the same page as they worked through how to handle the situation.
