Water disruption at Montana State Prison

Water Disruption at Montana State Prison

The Montana Department of Corrections is working to address a water leak that disrupted services at the prison on Friday morning.

The National Guard is hauling in water to fill the prison's 300,000-gallon tank and keep the system pressurized until the break is located and repaired.

"We know this is a challenging situation and recognize the urgency felt by inmates and their families to resolve this as soon as possible. We share that sense of urgency,"

said DOC Director Brian Gootkin. A second water leak detection consultant from Bozeman has arrived to assist with location efforts.
