How to read the share of the parametric value

12 % Share of the parametric value. The proportion of the permitted maximum that the measured value uses — here 12 %, so just over an eighth.
< 10 % * Below the limit of quantification. The substance was not detectable. The mark shows where the detection limit lies relative to the parametric value — the actual share of the parametric value is below that.

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.

How hard is the water in Dortmund (Schüren, Benninghofen?
DEW21 – Dortmunder Energie- und Wasserversorgung GmbH publishes a total hardness of 7 °dH for the supply zone Wasserwerk Witten (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 11/07/2026.
How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Dortmund (Schüren, Benninghofen?
DEW21 – Dortmunder Energie- und Wasserversorgung GmbH publishes a nitrate value of 12,7 mg/l for the supply zone Wasserwerk Witten. The statutory parametric value is 50 mg/l; the measured value represents 25 % of the parametric value. Basis: Publication by the water supplier, retrieved on 11/07/2026.
Are PFAS detectable in the drinking water in Dortmund (Schüren, Benninghofen?
DEW21 – Dortmunder Energie- und Wasserversorgung GmbH publishes for the supply zone Wasserwerk Witten a sum value PFAS-20 of 0,0304 µg/l. The statutory parametric value is 0.1 µg/l; the measured value represents 30 % of the parametric value. For the sum of the 20 individual substances, this parametric value has applied since 12/01/2026. Basis: Publication by the water supplier, retrieved on 11/07/2026.
