Drinking water quality in Bagnères-de-Bigorre
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,1 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (13 April 2026)
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 d'alimentation non conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur. L a non conformité concerne la turbidité et n'a pas nécessité de restric tion de la consommation de l'eau. Ce paramètre permet de mesurer le ta ux de particules en suspension présentes dans l'eau (argiles, colloïde s,...). Il a été demandé à l'exploitant de prendre les mesures correct ives nécessaires pour rétablir la qualité de l'eau. Un nouveau contrôl e a été programmé pour suivre l'évolution du paramètre et vérifier le retour à une situation normale.“
