Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Põlva vald safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 19 June 2026, the tap water in Põlva vald was within every limit tested. “vastab nõuetele” The four EFSA compounds (PFAS-4) are not itemised, so this water cannot be compared with the 0.5 ng/L health benchmark used by pfasnearme.
How high are PFAS levels in Põlva vald's drinking water?
No PFAS results have been published for Põlva vald yet. Testing has been required across the EU since January 2026. We will show the values here as soon as they come out.
Which PFAS limits apply in Estonia?
Estonia transposes the EU Drinking Water Directive in regulation no. 61 of the Minister of Social Affairs (sotsiaalministri määrus nr 61): "PFASide summa" (sum of 20 PFAS) at most 0.10 µg/l, that is 100 ng/L. There is no national PFAS-4 limit; the health reference is EFSA's 4 ng/L. This site's 0.5 ng/L benchmark is stricter than both.
How hard is the water in Põlva vald?
No hardness value is available for Põlva vald in this source.
