How hard is the water in Himmelberg, Steindorf am Ossiacher See?

Wasserverband Ossiacher See / Gemeinde Steindorf am Ossiacher See publishes a total hardness of 1.9 °dH for the supply zone Wasserversorgungsanlage Bodensdorf (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: Publication by the water supplier, retrieved on 14/08/2026.

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.

Assigned 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 31/12/2021. 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.

* 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.

Values taken unchanged from the publications linked below — for each parameter the most recent recorded value. „—" in the parametric value column: no currently valid legal parametric value is stored in our database for this parameter; the parameter register with all parametric values is being expanded continuously.
