Drinking water in Novara
One supply zone, published by Acqua Novara.VCO S.p.A.. The values come from the publications of the Italian water suppliers (gestori), which D.Lgs. 18/2023 requires of them from 12 January 2026. Italian parametric values apply: trihalomethanes 30 instead of 50 µg/l, chromium 25 µg/l, uranium 30 instead of 10 µg/l; for hardness there is no maximum value, it is given in French degrees (°F).

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.

The values are not official — the publication of the Gestore, to which every row links, remains authoritative.
