Flooding and power outages in Auckland
Due to extensive flooding and slipping, crews are currently unable to access damage causing outages in Whitford, parts of Takanini and Papakura, Clevedon and Kawakawa Bay. It is unsafe for crews to enter or work in the flooded area and Police have closed critical roads until at least 10pm tonight, when we will reassess the situation.
It's unlikely many of these residents will have power restored overnight and we are working with police to disperse that message into the community. In the meantime we're looking into options to survey the network situation out there, including aerial via helicopter.
