Arizona man's HOA keeps fining him $100 for giving out water in heat -- lawyer for HOA explains. Do you agree? [View all]

David Martin of Goodyear, Arizona, says he just wanted to help his neighbors stay hydrated during triple-digit temperatures — but now he’s being fined for it by his homeowners association.

Martin has been placing a cooler filled with free bottled water near the sidewalk outside his home since May of 2020.

“It’s for the kids, the delivery drivers, the couple holding hands walking down the street,” Martin told local outlet KPHO. “It’s for the little kid who has to walk his dog in the heat.”

An attorney for the Canyon Trails HOA released a statement to KPHO last year saying:

"The association does not object to a resident providing free water bottles to the community; however, the community's rules do not allow a resident to advertise water bottle distribution from a portable ice chest, located next to their garage that is visible from neighboring property."
