Western Springs College and the nearby Auckland Zoo are closed due to a power cut today.
An Auckland Zoo spokesperson told 1 NEWS the animals are coping well with the closure.
The outage has not affected the animal hospital and the on-site generators have kicked in.
Vector says they deployed crews to replace a faulty piece of equipment after they became aware of power issues at 4am.
The outage was initially only affecting the zoo and the nearby school, and was resolved at 8.45am.
However, the fault has since reappeared, and crews had to switch off power to parts of the Western Springs area.
Vector is unsure how many customers have been affected as a result, or when power will be fully restored.
