Drinking water in Röthenbach
One supply zone, water supplier: Stadtwerke Röthenbach a.d. Pegnitz GmbH.
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.

Frequently asked questions about drinking water in Röthenbach
- How hard is the water in Röthenbach?
- Stadtwerke Röthenbach a.d. Pegnitz GmbH publishes a total hardness of 9.8 °dH for the supply zone roethenbach gesamt (hardness range mittel). 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: Februar 2026, retrieved on 13/07/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Röthenbach?
- Stadtwerke Röthenbach a.d. Pegnitz GmbH publishes a nitrate value of 3,5 mg/l for the supply zone roethenbach gesamt. The statutory parametric value is 50 mg/l; the measured value represents 7 % of the parametric value. Basis: Stand: Februar 2026, retrieved on 13/07/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Röthenbach?
- Stadtwerke Röthenbach a.d. Pegnitz GmbH. The values shown here come from the supply zone roethenbach gesamt 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.
