Wells and watering

The wells are filled with water, which will get warm and oxidized to be suitable for irrigation. One of the faucets has a piece of hose on it, which is used to fill the well. There is a box next to the well, which is meant for rinsing the base of watering cans and buckets. This way the water in the well stays as clean as possible, and plant diseases will not spread through contaminated water.

The other faucet can be used to attach your own hose or a shared hose, which is used to fill a water tank on your own allotment. Using the hose is limited to a maximum of 30 minutes at a time during popular hours. It is not recommended to water plants directly from the hose, because most plants do not like cold water, the ground will harden and water will be wasted. After watering, detach the hose and leave the hose connector on the faucet. Move the hose away from the well in a neat pile, so that people will not trip over it on the path.
