Drinking water in Thedinghausen, Emtinghausen
2 supply zones — values can differ depending on the district. Below is the zone with the most documented parameters, the others collapsed underneath. To determine the exact match, look up the postcode.
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.

| Parameter | Value | Parametric value | Share of the parametric value | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) | n.b. mg/l not determined | 60 µg/l UBA guide value | — | Mean |
For trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), the German Drinking Water Ordinance does not specify a parametric value. The comparison is therefore made with the guide value of 60 µg/l issued by the Umweltbundesamt, which has replaced the earlier health-related guidance value of 3 µg/l. A guide value is not a legal maximum but a health-related classification.

Frequently asked questions about drinking water in Thedinghausen, Emtinghausen
- How hard is the water in Thedinghausen, Emtinghausen?
- OOWV (Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband) und Wasserversorgung Syker Vorgeest GmbH publishes a total hardness of 6.1 °dH for the supply zone HB Werder / MW Holterheide + Ristedt (hardness range weich). 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 11/07/2026.
- How much nitrate is in the drinking water in Thedinghausen, Emtinghausen?
- OOWV (Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband) und Wasserversorgung Syker Vorgeest GmbH publishes a nitrate value of 12.6 mg/l for the supply zone HB Werder / MW Holterheide + Ristedt. The statutory parametric value is 50 mg/l; the measured value represents 25 % of the parametric value. Basis: Publication by the water supplier, retrieved on 11/07/2026.
- Who supplies the drinking water in Thedinghausen, Emtinghausen?
- OOWV (Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband) und Wasserversorgung Syker Vorgeest GmbH. The values shown here come from the supply zone HB Werder / MW Holterheide + Ristedt 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.
General questions — how current the data is, limit of quantification, parametric values, who is behind this site — are answered under Questions & answers.
