Drinking water in 98724
For this postcode Wasserversorgungs- und Abwasserzweckverband Sonneberg (WAZ Sonneberg) publishes several supply zones. Which of them serves an individual address is not published — below are the values of the zone with the most documented parameters, the remaining 5 underneath.
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.
Assigned via the water supplier — the exact supply zone boundary within the postcode is not yet linked.

Frequent questions about postcode 98724
- How hard is the water in Postcode 98724?
- Wasserversorgungs- und Abwasserzweckverband Sonneberg (WAZ Sonneberg) publishes a total hardness of 9.1 °dH for the supply zone VG 1 - Sonneberg (hardness range medium). 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: 28.10.2025, retrieved on 11/07/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Postcode 98724?
- Wasserversorgungs- und Abwasserzweckverband Sonneberg (WAZ Sonneberg) publishes a nitrate value of 9,9 mg/l for the supply zone VG 1 - Sonneberg. The statutory parametric value is 50 mg/l; the measured value represents 20 % of the parametric value. Basis: 28.10.2025, retrieved on 11/07/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Postcode 98724?
- Wasserversorgungs- und Abwasserzweckverband Sonneberg (WAZ Sonneberg). The values shown here come from the supply zone VG 1 - Sonneberg 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.
