PFAS in Chauvincourt-Provemont'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 Bézu-Saint-Éloi, on the same distribution network as Chauvincourt-Provemont (BEZU SAINT ELOI). 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.

In Chauvincourt-Provemont, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 15 April 2025. The total is below 6 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 12 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Bézu-Saint-Éloi, on the same network. 2 checks since 14 April 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Chauvincourt-Provemont
2 PFAS checks since 14 April 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Chauvincourt-Provemont. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “BEZU SAINT ELOI”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at | Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 6 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | Bézu-Saint-Éloi | BEZU SAINT ELOI | |
| < 6 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | Harquency | AUTHEVERNES |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Chauvincourt-Provemont safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 29 October 2025, the tap water in Chauvincourt-Provemont was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Chauvincourt-Provemont'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 Chauvincourt-Provemont 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.
Are PFAS levels rising in Chauvincourt-Provemont's tap water?
Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.
