PFAS in Coteaux du Lizon's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, 8 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 Leschères, on the same distribution network as Coteaux du Lizon (SIAEP DU GRANDVAUX LAC). 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 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

In Coteaux du Lizon, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 18 May 2026. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 9 ng/L (0.009 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Leschères, on the same network. 3 checks since 10 December 2025, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (4 ng/L).

PFAS over time in Coteaux du Lizon
5 PFAS checks since 31 March 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 4 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Coteaux du Lizon. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “SIAEP DU GRANDVAUX LAC”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 ng/L | 9 ng/L | Leschères | SIAEP DU GRANDVAUX LAC | |
| < 4 ng/L | < 29 ng/L | Coteaux du Lizon | SIAEP DU GRANDVAUX CROZETS | |

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Coteaux du Lizon safe to drink?
At the latest check, the water was over at least one limit. “Eau d'alimentation non-conforme aux limites de qualité pour le paramèt re suivant: Chlorites. Ajuster la désinfection pour limiter la production de ces substances e n maintenant son efficacité sur les paramètres microbiologiques. Equilibre calcocarbonique : Eau à l'équilibre.”
How high are PFAS levels in Coteaux du Lizon's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 9 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 9 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Coteaux du Lizon also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
As far as this check can tell, yes. None of the four compounds was quantified, so their total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
Are PFAS levels rising in Coteaux du Lizon's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 31 March 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Coteaux du Lizon?
The water hardness in Coteaux du Lizon is 18 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
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 12 September 2026.
