Drinking water quality in Bourganeuf
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <SEUIL µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (3 September 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 d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité définies par le Code de la Santé Publique, pour les paramètres mesurés au moment du prélèvement, à l’exception du paramètre conductivité. Une optimisation du traitement de neutralisation est nécessaire. Il convient également de noter la présence d'une flore interférente importante rendant impossible le dénombrement des coliformes totaux. Un nouveau prélèvement sera réalisé pour vérifier l’évolution de la qualité de l’eau desservie aux usagers du réseau.“

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Bourganeuf safe to drink?
Yes. The latest official test (11 June 2026) checked the tap water in Bourganeuf and it passed every requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Bourganeuf's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <SEUIL 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 Bourganeuf 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 Bourganeuf?
The water hardness in Bourganeuf is 8.5 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
