People in Gisborne are being warned to stop using water immediately until further notice.<\/p>\n

The Gisborne District Council says the water treatment system has failed.<\/p>\n

Council manager Scotty Sharp says people need to “stop all use right now”.<\/p>\n

“Everything, absolutely everything,” he says.<\/p>\n

“Critical, it’s absolutely critical. We need to get the info out to the public because it’s just failed and it’s just failed now.”<\/p>\n

Sharp says the council doesn’t know why it’s failed, but silt could have overloaded the system.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, people in Auckland are\u00a0still being evacuated from their homes in Piha<\/a>\u00a0as land remains dangerous and unstable days after Cyclone Gabrielle.<\/p>\n

Locals are warning city sightseers to stay away from the Auckland beach community, saying they are still in the middle of an emergency.<\/p>\n
