A water outage in a West Auckland suburb has come to an end after three days.

A land slip in Swanson following last week's record-breaking rain broke two watermains and cut off water to 250 homes.

Watercare said the supply has been restored and residents were able to access free-flowing water this morning.

The organisation said it set up two temporary watermains to replace those broken by the slip.

Watercare is encouraging people to keep their water use to a minimum until a permanent solution is in place.
