Restoration of a ruptured water main in central Auckland that burst on Monday morning and sent water sprawling through a Grey Lynn Park is on track to finish today, says Watercare.
The 550mm-diameter water main in Arch Hill Scenic Reserve burst early on Monday morning.
Residents in a wide area of central-west Auckland - including Westmere, Grey Lynn, Cox's Bay, Western Springs, Great North Rd, Ponsonby, Newton and Arch Hill - were told yesterday that they may notice low water pressure and some discolouration.

Watercare isolated the broken section of pipe just after midday on Monday and contractors spent the rest of the day working on temporary repairs, Watercare's Simon Porter said.
