Drinking water quality in Bœrsch
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,005 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (24 April 2025)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.
Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Official assessment
The latest official test passed all quality requirements.
„Eau destinée à la consommation humaine conforme aux limites de qualité réglementaires pour les paramètres analysés. La concentration des bactéries revivifiables à 22°C et/ou à 36°C est importante. Elles ne présentent pas de risque pour la santé humaine. Si nécessaire, le distributeur d'eau doit effectuer une purge du réseau d'eau potable.“

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Bœrsch safe to drink?
Yes. The latest official test (27 May 2026) checked the tap water in Bœrsch and it passed every requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Bœrsch's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,005 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Bœrsch also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest limit, the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026, the measured value of 0 µg/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Bœrsch?
The water hardness in Bœrsch is 10.5 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
