Drinking water in 63820
One supply zone, water supplier: Markt Elsenfeld.
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 | 8,3 mg/l | 50 mg/l | 17 % | Single value |
| Lead | <0,001 mg/l below limit of quantification | 10 µg/l | < 10 % * | Single value |
| Sulphate | 8,6 mg/l | 250 mg/l | 3 % | Single value |
| Sodium | 9,3 mg/l | 200 mg/l | 5 % | 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 63820
- How hard is the water in Postcode 63820?
- Markt Elsenfeld publishes a total hardness of 7.2 °dH for the supply zone Gemeindliche Brunnen Elsenfeld (Ortsteile Rück, Schippach, Eichelsbach) (hardness range weich). 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: Publication by the water supplier, retrieved on 13/07/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Postcode 63820?
- Markt Elsenfeld publishes a nitrate value of 8,3 mg/l for the supply zone Gemeindliche Brunnen Elsenfeld (Ortsteile Rück, Schippach, Eichelsbach). The statutory parametric value is 50 mg/l; the measured value represents 17 % of the parametric value. Basis: Publication by the water supplier, retrieved on 13/07/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Postcode 63820?
- Markt Elsenfeld. The values shown here come from the supply zone Gemeindliche Brunnen Elsenfeld (Ortsteile Rück, Schippach, Eichelsbach) 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.
