A tap delivering spring water outside Speights brewery is used by hundreds of Dunedin people a day in search of something superior to the city’s supply.
But now the city council has put pay and display parking metres in the street and people are worried they’ll have to pay while they fill their containers with water.
The chances of getting a ticket in the few minutes it takes to fill a bottle or two aren’t great. But you’d think a council which knew its city would have had the wit to put a five minute free park beside the tap.
