water

Of course, clean and delicious

The drinking water from Stadtwerke Landshut is an ideal thirst quencher. It comes fresh and natural from the tap. Several times a year we leave the Fountain take samples in the Siebensee and Schlossberg water protection areas and at various points in the pipeline network and examine them through a laboratory.

water quality

Drinking water is one of the most strictly monitored foods ever. Basically, the quality of the water depends on the nature of the substrate, but also on the man-made influences. Artificial fertilizer and liquid manure, which farmers bring to the fields, are included, for example. Stadtwerke Landshut, in cooperation with the farmers, has targeted these influenceable factors at an early stage.

Since 1994, we have been committed to sustainable management of the water protection area in Siebensee in the Landshut West, where most of our drinking water is extracted. The Stadtwerke bought or leased a total of 80 hectares of land and leased them to organic farmers. The trusting and partnership-based cooperation with the organic farmers as well as with the conventionally operating enterprises in the vicinity of the water protection area have contributed to the fact that the Landshut drinking water has a sustainable and consistently high quality. The measured values are regularly far below the statutory limits.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) & information about water quality

Can you drink Landshut drinking water from the tap?

Yes, the Landshut drinking water is of the highest quality. It is constantly being examined by an independent laboratory. The measured values are regularly far below the statutory limits. Equally important for the water quality, however, are the condition and suitability of the water pipes in the house. If there are pipes in a building that contaminate the water, the best water quality is of no use.

Steht Trinkwasser über einen längeren Zeitraum von mehreren Stunden oder sogar Tagen in den Leitungen spricht man von Stagnationswasser. Dieses Wasser ist nicht mehr frisch und kann verunreinigt
sein. Sorgen Sie daher  für regelmäßige Wasserentnahme und Abtrennung nicht genutzter Leitungsabschnitte.

What is the water hardness of the water in Landshut?

Das Landshuter Trinkwasser ist in den Härtebereich „hart“ eingestuft (entsprechend des Wasch- und Reinigungsmittelgesetzes).

Calcium: 98,1 mg/l | Magnesium: 24,4 mg/l | Kalium: 2,8 mg/l

Die Härte des Wassers spielt beim Waschen der Wäsche eine erhebliche Rolle. Bitte halten Sie sich bei der Dosierung an die Angaben der Waschmittelhersteller. Die Auswirkung der Wasserhärte wird von den meisten Waschmitteln durch die Zugabe von Phosphaten gemildert. Phosphate haben allerdings den Nachteil, dass sie die Flüsse und Seen mit Nährstoffen überdüngen. Durch richtige Waschmitteldosierung, die von der jeweiligen Wasserhärte abhängig ist, können Sie einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Gewässerschutz leisten.

Is the tap water also suitable for baby food?

According to the recommendation of the Federal Environmental Agency it can be used to prepare baby food. The Federal Environment Agency recommends preparing baby food only with bottled water if the nitrate limit value of the TrinkwV (50 mg / l) is exceeded. In Landshut, the limit has fallen almost fourfold. The current measured value you can the Drinking Water Test Report Landshut remove.

Why is the nitrate level in Landshut so low?

Basically, the quality of the water depends on the nature of the substrate, but also on the man-made influences. Artificial fertilizer and liquid manure, which farmers bring to the fields, are included, for example. Stadtwerke Landshut, in cooperation with the farmers, has targeted these influenceable factors at an early stage. Since 1994, public utilities have been committed to the sustainable management of the water protection area in Siebensee so that less fertilizer and manure are introduced. The Stadtwerke bought or leased a total of 80 hectares of land and leased them to organic farmers.

The trusting and partnership-based cooperation with the organic farmers as well as with the conventionally operating enterprises in the vicinity of the water protection area have contributed to the fact that the Landshut drinking water has a sustainable and consistently high quality.

Sind im Trinkwasser PFOA oder PFC nachweisbar?

Im Einzugsgebiet der Brunnen der Stadtwerke Landshut befinden sich keine entsprechenden Einrichtungen wie zum Beispiel Chemieparks oder Betriebsfeuerwehren, die ein Risiko für einen Eintrag von Perfluoroctansäure (PFOA) oder anderen perfluorierten Verbindungen (PFC) darstellen würden.

Die PFC Untersuchung gehört nicht zum Standarduntersuchungsprogramm.  Die Stadtwerke haben diese Stoffe dennoch untersuchen lassen. Das aktuellste Ergebnis vom Dezember 2021 bestätigt: Im Landshuter Trinkwasser sind keine PFC nachweisbar. Alle Werte waren unter der sogenannten Nachweisgrenze, diese ist im Trinkwasser  <0,0010 µg/l. Das heißt, die Werte des Landshuter Trinkwassers liegen darunter.

Unser Trinkwasser erfüllt somit die Anforderungen des Umweltbundesamts (UBA). Das UBA empfiehlt aus Gründen der Vorsorge einen sehr niedrigen Wert, um besonders empfindliche Bevölkerungsgruppen, wie Schwangere, Säuglinge und Kleinkinder zu schützen. Dieser vom UBA empfohlene Wert liegt bei jeweils 0,05 µg/l.

Are there pharmaceutical residues or microplastics in drinking water?

Stadtwerke Landshut exclusively uses groundwater. This feeds mainly from rainwater, which seeps through several layers of soil and is thereby filtered. It is only influenced to a small extent by bank filtrates. Bank filtrate refers to drinking water that comes from wells that are located near rivers or lakes. There is a greater risk of contamination in surface waters, such as B. in drinking water dams. Therefore, if at all, only a slight influence on the Landshut drinking water is to be expected.

Trotzdem lassen die Stadtwerke Landshut das Trinkwasser im Pumpwerk regelmäßig auf pharmazeutische Wirkstoffe / Arzneimittelrückstände und andere Spurenstoffe untersuchen. Die letzte Untersuchung im Juni 2023 konnte keine der untersuchten Stoffe an unserem wichtigsten Brunnen nachweisen. Untersucht wurden unter anderem pharmazeutische Wirkstoffe (z. B. Acetylsalicylsäure, Diclofenac, Ibuprofen etc.), Antibiotika, Röntgenkontrastmittel und weitere Stoffe.

How can I prevent unwanted overconsumption?

Steady dripping is known to cave in the stone. However, if the tap drips, licking a pipe or a valve, this is reflected in the consumption statement. Here are a few simple tips for tenants, owners and caretakers of residential complexes to get rid of unwanted extra consumption and eliminate:

  • In principle, Stadtwerke Landshut recommends the regular maintenance of the drinking water installation by a correspondingly qualified installer.
  • Check safety valves of hot water systems or central heating systems regularly or have them checked by a specialist.
  • Check piping systems for leaks: Close all water consumption points. If the water meter comes to a standstill everything is fine. If he keeps turning, there is a leak somewhere. That is what to look for.
  • Regularly, for example monthly, write down the consumption values. Especially if it is a water meter shaft outside the house or the property is uninhabited.
  • Pay attention to running toilet flushing systems: After flushing, no more water may escape.
  • Replace dripping taps and shower heads.
  • Leaky hose systems: The garden water hose should never be left under operating pressure.
