Water taps parked at Mettmann's cemeteries - winter seam!

Mettmann, Deutschland - in Mettmann it gets frosty! From Wednesday, November 13th, the water taps will be parked for winter time on the three urban cemeteries. The cemetery administration made this decision to avoid damage to the water pipes that run below the earth's surface and freeze or even break in frosty temperatures.

The water taps are expected to remain out of operation until the middle or end of March, depending on the weather conditions. Cemetery visitors who want to set up fresh flowers in vases should be prepared to bring their own water from home. A little effort to honor the beloved relatives, while the cold is up to mischief!

Important information for visitors

The decision to remove the water tapping points is a preventive measure that aims to protect the infrastructure of the cemeteries. The administration asks all visitors to understand and recommends to adapt to the situation in good time. So if you are planning a visit in winter, you should not forget to take the water for the flowers with you!
