A large high school on Auckland's North Shore is closed for the day because it does not have enough water.
In a message to parents, Takapuna Grammar School said more than two thirds of the school was without a functioning water supply, leaving it with only two or three useable toilet blocks and one working water fountain.
It said that was not sufficient to safely accommodate its 2200 students, and the school would be closed on Wednesday.
It described the water supply problem as "ongoing".
School work would be posted online and students could email teachers if they needed help.
RNZ has approached Takapuna Grammar for comment.
A statement on the school's website now said water supply issues had been resolved and the school would reopen on Thursday.
