A ruptured pipe left a central Alabama nursing home without water. 

Four patients were transferred from a Maryland nursing home after a water pipe burst at the facility on Christmas Eve.

A break in a line of the sprinkler system at a Kentucky nursing home caused “atrocious amounts” of water to flow into the patient wing.

Water pipes in a Kentucky nursing home froze and broke in multiple parts of the facility, causing administrators to evacuate residents to other facilities in nearby counties.
