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.

Frequently asked questions about drinking water in Eningen
- How hard is the water in Eningen?
- Gemeindewerke Eningen unter Achalm publishes a total hardness of 1.6 °dH for the supply zone Eningen (hardness range soft). 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: Stand: 12/2025, retrieved on 19/08/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Eningen?
- Gemeindewerke Eningen unter Achalm publishes a nitrate value of 3,9 mg/l for the supply zone Eningen. The statutory parametric value is 50 mg/l; the measured value represents 8 % of the parametric value. Basis: Stand: 12/2025, retrieved on 19/08/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Eningen?
- Gemeindewerke Eningen unter Achalm. The values shown here come from the supply zone Eningen 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.
