Another deluge overnight has taken out power lines at Hukerenui as crews continue to try and get power back on to Northland homes.
At 8am today 570 Northpower customers were without power - 299 on the high voltage network and the others on low voltage lines.
Just after 5am a tree took out lines at Hukerenui, cutting power to 43 people. Northpower arborists and lines crews are working to restore power.
At Pukehuia, in the Kaipara District, 160 people are without power and lines crews are unable to access the area due to extensive flooding.
An aerial survey will be underway shortly and lines crews will then look to access the area by jet ski and boat.
