Drinking water in Kappel SO
One supply zone, water supplier: Zweckverband Wasserversorgung Untergäu.
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.

These values are more than a year old. The most recent analysis the water supplier has published for this zone dates from 31/12/2023. 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.

Annual means and medians are not individual measured values, but the parametric values apply per sample. If a mean lies above it, at least one individual sample was above it — the mean does not say how many, or by how much. That is why this is not reported here as an exceedance of the parametric value. What counts remains the water supplier's publication, which each row links to.

Frequently asked questions about drinking water in Kappel SO
- How hard is the water in Kappel SO?
- Zweckverband Wasserversorgung Untergäu publishes a total hardness of 34.3 °fH for the supply zone Zweckverband Wasserversorgung Untergäu — that corresponds to 19.2 °dH. 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: 2023, retrieved on 07/08/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Kappel SO?
- Zweckverband Wasserversorgung Untergäu publishes a nitrate value of 30.8 mg/l for the supply zone Zweckverband Wasserversorgung Untergäu. The statutory parametric value is 40 mg/l; the measured value represents 77 % of the parametric value. Basis: 2023, retrieved on 07/08/2026.
