PFAS in Augères's tap water: under 6 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 6 ng/L, 12 times our benchmark of 0.5 ng/L. Water above our benchmark would pass this check unnoticed.
0.5 ng/L is our benchmark, not an official limit. Same EFSA method as Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, but stricter. It's a yearly average, compared here with the latest check.
Sample taken in Ceyroux, on the same distribution network as Augères (ST DIZIER L. FORGEAS AUGERES). The health authority samples one tap per network; a network carries the same treated water everywhere.
More about this result
The US also limits PFOA and PFOS to 4 ng/L each, per substance.
The lab detects each of the four substances from 1 to 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 6 ng/L rather than zero.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Augères safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 5 May 2026, the tap water in Augères was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 72 µS/cm on 2 April 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Les résultats de cette contre-analyse mettent en évidence le rétablissement de la qualité bactériologique de cette desserte. Cette eau est à nouveau conforme aux exigences de qualité du Code de la Santé Publique.”
How high are PFAS levels in Augères's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at –. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at – of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Augères also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 6 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
How hard is the water in Augères?
The water hardness in Augères is 1.1 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
