Water quality

Water suppliers and owners of water systems are responsible for the purity and cleanliness of drinking water. The public health department monitors that everyone fulfills their obligation and complies with the limit and guideline values for drinking water.

Average value analyses from the state water supply and the Lake Constance water supply can be downloaded from the "First-class drinking water for Stuttgart" page of  Netze BW (opens in a new tab) in the lower section under "Important downloads". If you have any questions or in unclear cases, you can contact Netze BW Wasser GmbH at any time for information about the type of drinking water or send an e-mail to  info.wassernetze-bwde

The public health department also keeps an eye on the  water in fountains. In Stuttgart, there are many publicly accessible drinking fountains that are operated from spring to fall. Drinking fountains are marked as such and are also checked regularly.

In order to prevent bathers from being exposed to a health risk in the swimming pool, the health department also monitors the water quality of the bathing establishments. As there are no nationwide swimming and bathing pool regulations, the pools are based on the DIN 19643 standard and the recommendation of the Federal Environment Agency on hygiene requirements for pools and their monitoring.
