A large storm last Tuesday initially took out power to 180,000 Auckland homes and businesses.

Vector said all known damage to the main supply lines had now been repaired but work was continuing on localised damage and some areas might be without power until Sunday.

Crews are also working around the clock to restore hot water.

A spokesperon for the lines company said it was also helping to repair parts of the network not managed by Vector.
