System solutions for Water treatment plants Wiesbaden

Stadtwerke Wiesbaden carries out extensive examinations and tests to ensure the purity and safety of the water. A certified water laboratory ensures that there is nothing in the drinking water that does not belong in it. To this end, thousands of samples are taken every year and subjected to various analytical checks.

The first priority is to maintain its microbiological quality. But all other substances are also carefully monitored that are specified in the Drinking Water Ordinance and other regulations or for which the proper functioning of the treatment plants is important. State-of-the-art analysis technology certified to DIN/ISO is used for this purpose. The water supply companies of the state capital Wiesbaden have the claim to guarantee the high environmental and quality standards at all times: Every drop of the average 63 cubic meters consumed per inhabitant and year in the Rhine-Main supply area is of the highest drinking water quality.

For Wiesbaden alone, 43,000 cubic meters of water are supplied daily. The water supply in Wiesbaden is generally provided by a water meter in each household or commercial establishment. The fees for water supply are set by the Wiesbaden public utility company and are billed on the basis of water consumption.
