Drinking water quality in Forcalqueiret
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.003 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (18 June 2026)
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Forcalqueiret safe to drink?
Yes. The latest official test (18 June 2026) checked the tap water in Forcalqueiret and it passed every requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Forcalqueiret's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.003 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Forcalqueiret 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 Forcalqueiret?
The water hardness in Forcalqueiret is 39.56 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
