Canterbury
Arthurs Pass Village Water Tank
Water Source
Public water tap located beside the DOC visitor center in Arthurs Pass village provides clean, cold mountain water straight from the alpine catchment. Free to use, reliable year-round flow, and easily accessible for any vehicle size. Popular with trampers and overlanders heading into the high country.
The tap sits right in the village center, so you can grab water while resupplying at the general store or getting track info from DOC. Essential stop before tackling any of the backcountry roads around the Southern Alps.
