Temporary Plumbing Issue At Westgate
The Department of Corrections confirmed that there was a plumbing issue in the Medium Housing units at Westgate, which “resulted in a lack of water for flushing toilets” and repairs have now been completed.
A spokesperson said, “The Department of Corrections confirmed that there was a plumbing leak in the Medium Housing units at Westgate, which resulted in a lack of water for flushing toilets.
“There was a short period of time when, using other available water sources, inmates used buckets to flush before the toilets were put on the bypass fresh water supply.
“It is important to note that the entire facility was not affected, only the medium housing units were impacted. Repairs have been completed, the plumbing issues have been addressed and the water is back on.”
