The council said the Eftpos machine at the landfill was not working, but the machine at Trash Palace was.
The power company is working to get power back up, but it s expected to take two to three hours.
Two houses in the Porirua suburb, Plimmerton, were also hit by heavy rain overnight, one by debris, and another by a hole opening up on their driveway.
Two large pumps were set up to keep the beach culvert clear this morning.
Meanwhile, crews from Wellington Water, the Council and Downer are out across the rest of the city, clearing culverts and responding to callouts.
