A water main has broken at the bottom of Auckland's Queen Street.
Mayor Wayne Brown said council staff were working with Fire and Emergency, and had confirmed it was drinking water that was spilling and not wastewater.
A clean-up is in progress, and Brown said he would be investigating why it happened.
