Repair work is being carried out on a burst water main in Lisburn.
Workers from NI Water are currently at the scene on the grounds of the Lagan Valley Hospital estate.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service and NI Water employees worked through the night to minimise and prevent further damage, however, the basement of the hospital and two residential properties were affected.
Work has commenced to repair the main but the burst is located in a difficult position with other services nearby that will slow the progress of the repair.
NI Water is working closely with hospital staff to minimise the impact on hospital services whilst the repair is being carried out.
