Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, on how many days over the last 12 months has Wandsworth Prison not had an adequate water supply.
Answered by Damian Hinds
On 3 November, HMP Wandsworth reported disruption to their water supply across the prison. Contact was made with Thames Water who confirmed that there was a pipe leak in the Roehampton area which had disrupted water supply to the prison. Thames Water advised that the issue should be resolved within an hour. As a result of this, the prison implemented a restriction on access to showers and provided water to enable flushing of toilets.
Thames Water provided bottled water to affected areas, including the prison. On 9 November, the burst pipe was reported to be fixed but a period of time was required to ensure the safety of water supply when it was turned on.
The water supply to the prison was disrupted for a total of 8 days. The disruption lasted until 10 November when mains water was reinstated at the prison.
There have been no other water supply issues reported at HMP Wandsworth in the last 12 months.
