Drinking water in Ahrensbök
One supply zone, water supplier: ZVO Energie 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 | 1,34 mg/l | 50 mg/l | 3 % | Maximum · Ahrensbök |
| Lead | < 0,001 mg/l below limit of quantification | 10 µg/l | < 10 % * | Maximum · Ahrensbök |
| Sulphate | 61,9 mg/l | 250 mg/l | 25 % | Maximum · Ahrensbök |
| Sodium | 38,6 mg/l | 200 mg/l | 19 % | Maximum · Ahrensbök |
* 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.

Frequently asked questions about drinking water in Ahrensbök
- How hard is the water in Ahrensbök?
- ZVO Energie GmbH publishes a total hardness of 19.8 °dH for the supply zone Ahrensbök (hardness range hard). 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: 03.06.2026, retrieved on 25/07/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Ahrensbök?
- ZVO Energie GmbH publishes a nitrate value of 1,34 mg/l for the supply zone Ahrensbök. The statutory parametric value is 50 mg/l; the measured value represents 3 % of the parametric value. Basis: 03.06.2026, retrieved on 25/07/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Ahrensbök?
- ZVO Energie GmbH. The values shown here come from the supply zone Ahrensbök 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.
