PFAS in Faissault's tap water: under 4 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 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 Auboncourt-Vauzelles, on the same distribution network as Faissault (S29 EST RETHELOIS). 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.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Faissault safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 4 June 2025, the tap water in Faissault was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés. Les références de qualité relatives à la présence de germes aérobies revivifiables à 22 et 36°C ne sont pas satisfaites. Une vérification des installations peut s'avérer nécessaire, notamment le traitement de désinfection s'il existe.”
How high are PFAS levels in Faissault's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 100 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 100 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Faissault 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.
How hard is the water in Faissault?
No hardness value is available for Faissault in this source.
