Drinking water in 41379
One supply zone, water supplier: Gemeindewerke Brüggen GmbH.
How to read the share of the parametric value
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.

| Parameter | Value | Parametric value | Share of the parametric value | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrate | 24,3 mg/l | 50 mg/l | 49 % | Single value |
| Lead | < 0,002 mg/l below limit of quantification | 10 µg/l | < 20 % * | Single value |
| Sulphate | 106 mg/l | 250 mg/l | 42 % | Single value |
| Sodium | 16,6 mg/l | 200 mg/l | 8 % | Single value |
* Value below the limit of quantification: the actual share of the parametric value is not known; it lies somewhere below the stated upper bound. The marker shows where the limit of quantification of the measurement lies relative to the parametric value.

Frequent questions about postcode 41379
- How hard is the water in Postcode 41379?
- Gemeindewerke Brüggen GmbH publishes a total hardness of 10.9 °dH for the supply zone Brüggen (hardness range Mittel). The hardness range is a classification under the German Detergents and Cleaning Products Act (soft below 8,4 °dH, medium 8,4 to 14 °dH, hard above that) and not a quality verdict — it indicates how much calcium and magnesium is dissolved in the water. Basis: 01.06.2026, retrieved on 11/07/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Postcode 41379?
- Gemeindewerke Brüggen GmbH publishes a nitrate value of 24,3 mg/l for the supply zone Brüggen. The statutory parametric value is 50 mg/l; the measured value represents 49 % of the parametric value. Basis: 01.06.2026, retrieved on 11/07/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Postcode 41379?
- Gemeindewerke Brüggen GmbH. The values shown here come from the supply zone Brüggen 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.
