How hard is the water in Rain?

Wasserversorgung Rain publishes a total hardness of 38.6 °fH for the supply zone Chnülle — that corresponds to 21.6 °dH. Hardness indicates how much calcium and magnesium are dissolved in the water. It is not a quality assessment: there is no parametric value for hardness. Basis: Publication by the water supplier, retrieved on 12/08/2026.

How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Rain?

Wasserversorgung Rain publishes a nitrate value of 33 mg/l for the supply zone Chnülle. The statutory parametric value is 40 mg/l; the measured value represents 83 % of the parametric value. Basis: Publication by the water supplier, retrieved on 12/08/2026.

Who supplies the drinking water in Rain?

Wasserversorgung Rain. The values shown here come from the supply zone Chnülle and apply to the water the supplier delivers. What happens between the building connection and the tap — in old lead pipes, for example — is not covered by these analyses; information on that is provided by owners, the health authority or an examination by an accredited laboratory.

Drinking water in Rain

The drinking water in Rain has a total hardness of 21.6 °dH. Nitrate reaches 33 mg/l, the statutory parametric value is 40 mg/l. Measured in supply zone Chnülle of Wasserversorgung Rain, retrieved on 12/08/2026.

2 supply zones — values can differ depending on the district. Below is the zone with the most documented parameters, the others collapsed underneath. To determine the exact match, look up the postcode.

How to read the share of the parametric value

12 % Share of the parametric value. The proportion of the permitted maximum that the measured value uses — here 12 %, so just over an eighth.

< 10 % * Below the limit of quantification. The substance was not detectable. The mark shows where the detection limit lies relative to the parametric value — the actual share of the parametric value is below that.

Several samples per year: for chemical parameters the mean value is given, for microbiological ones the highest measured value. There the parametric value is zero — a single finding would disappear in the average, and it is precisely that finding which is the information. Which reference applies is stated in the last column of the table.

These values are more than a year old. The most recent analysis the water supplier has published for this zone dates from 31/12/2024. We have no newer values — which is why we show the latest available ones rather than none at all. They say nothing about how the water has changed since then.
