Drinking water quality in Brumath

Q: Is tap water in Brumath safe to drink?

All the values shown here (7 May 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water.

Q: How hard is the water in Brumath?

The water hardness in Brumath is 28.6 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Q: Where does this data come from?

All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 28 August 2026.

PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit

0.008 µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.008 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 8 % of the limit. (16 April 2025)

This source does not list each PFAS substance separately, so we cannot compare this water with the health limit.

Official assessment

The authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water.

„Eau d'alimentation non conforme aux limites de qualité réglementaire e n vigueur. La concentration d’un métabolite de pesticide (chloridazone desphényl) est supérieure à la limite de qualité réglementaire en vigueur (0,1 µ g/L). La quantification de cette molécule dans l’eau à une concentration inf érieure à sa valeur sanitaire maximale et sa valeur dérogatoire, bien que constituant une non-conformité réglementaire, ne présente pas de risque sanitaire pour le consommateur. L’eau peut être consommée sans restriction. Un suivi renforcé spécifique est mis en œuvre sur plusieurs points de surveillance du réseau d’eau potable en vue d’évaluer l’évolution des concentrations des paramètres concernés. 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.“
