Drinking water in Hermagor-Pressegger See, Gitschtal
One supply zone, water supplier: Wasserversorgung Lichtensteig.
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.
Gemeinde Lichtensteig
Wasserversorgung LichtensteigAssigned 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 31/12/2024. 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.
| Parameter | Value | Parametric value | Share of the parametric value | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrate | 3.5 mg/l | 40 mg/l | 9 % | Mean · Gemeinde Lichtensteig |
| Escherichia coli (E. coli) | 1 KBE/100ml | 0/100 ml | above the parametric value — this parameter must not be detectable | Maximum · Median 0 · Gemeinde Lichtensteig |
An exceedance of a parametric value does not automatically mean a health risk; the statutory parametric values include safety margins. Assessment and any measures are the responsibility of the competent health authority of the respective country.
