An Arizona man is facing hundreds of dollars in fines from his homeowners association after offering free water bottles to neighbors during the scorching desert heat.

David Martin, of Goodyear, first set up a free water bottle station outside his home in the Canyon Trails community at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic - a thoughtful gesture he and his wife hoped would inspire unity and offer relief during the blistering summer months, KPHO News first reported.

'It's really for the drivers, for the families, it's for the kids,' he told 12 News. 'It's to do something positive in a world that needs it.'
