Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry says 75 houses are without power, 165 houses in the wider area are without water, and 20 homes only have pedestrian access after the landslip at Point Howard today.
"There hasn't been a mandatory evacuation order at this stage," he told Checkpoint.
"We are just advising people to stay in their homes if they are still in the area while the work is done on restoring power and also fixing the water."
