Drinking water in Bernsdorf
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
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.

TZV KamenzAssigned via the water supplier — the exact supply zone boundary within the postcode is not yet linked.
These values are more than a year old. The most recent analysis the water supplier has published for this zone dates from 31/12/2020. 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.

Frequently asked questions about drinking water in Bernsdorf
- How hard is the water in Bernsdorf?
- Wasserversorger Region Kamenz/Lausitz (nicht explizit im Dokument genannt, aus Ortsnamen wie Elstra, Kamenz, Wittichenau, Lohsa etc. abgeleitet) publishes a total hardness of 9.7 °dH for the supply zone Kamenz (obere Druckzone), Lückersdorf, Gelenau, Hennersdorf, Brauna, Liebenau, Wiesa, Thonberg, Prietitz, Elstra, Wohla, Welka, Rehnsdorf, Rauschwitz, Gödlau, Boderitz, Ossel, und Kindisch (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: Dok-ID: MV-FB-082-1.8 | Rev.-Nr.: 0.1 | Datum: 16.10.2025, retrieved on 11/07/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Bernsdorf?
