A burst water main on Auckland's Queen Street has been fixed after more than 12 hours.
The pipe burst just before 5pm Sunday on the corner of Queen and Wakefield streets, outside the Civic Centre.
"Water was restored to affected properties just before 6am this morning. Our teams worked well into Sunday night and the early hours of Monday morning to isolate the burst and repair the four metres of the affected water main," Watercare head of maintenance services Richie Rameka said.
Watercare was still investigating the cause of the burst, he said.
A one-way detour remains in place while crews work to finish off repairs and reinstate roading surfaces.
If people experience discoloured water, Watercare advised them to flush their taps until they run clear.
Traffic management was in place near the ruptured main on Sunday evening.
Workers remained at the site on Monday morning.
