Drinking water in Schenkon
One supply zone, water supplier: aquaregio ag.
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.

| Chlorothalonil metabolite R417888 | < 0.025 µg/l below limit of quantification | 0.1 µg/l | < 25 % * | Mean · Schenkon |
| Chlorothalonil metabolite R471811 | 0.113 µg/l | 0.1 µg/l | 113 % Mean above the parametric value | Mean · Schenkon |
* 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.
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 Schenkon
- How hard is the water in Schenkon?
- aquaregio ag publishes a total hardness of 36.3 °fH for the supply zone Schenkon — that corresponds to 20.3 °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: 2025, retrieved on 07/08/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Schenkon?
- aquaregio ag publishes a nitrate value of 17.76 mg/l for the supply zone Schenkon. The statutory parametric value is 40 mg/l; the measured value represents 44 % of the parametric value. Basis: 2025, retrieved on 07/08/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Schenkon?
- aquaregio ag. The values shown here come from the supply zone Schenkon 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.
