Drinking water quality in Giberville
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0151 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 15 % of the limit. (26 November 2025)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.0045 µg/L. That is 1.1 times the health limit of 0.004 µg/L that Sweden made law in 2026. Germany will set a similar limit in 2028.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).
Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Official assessment
The authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water.
„Les teneurs en chloridazone desphényl et chloridazone méthyl desphényl (produits de dégradation de pesticides) restent inférieures aux valeurs limites fixées dans l'arrêté préfectoral de dérogation à la limite de qualité. Un programme d'améli oration de la qualité des eaux porté par la collectivité est en cours, avec un suivi régulier des teneurs. L'eau peut être consommée sans restriction d'usage.“

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Giberville safe to drink?
All the values shown here (16 June 2026) are within the legal limits, but the authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water.
How high are PFAS levels in Giberville's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.0151 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 15 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Giberville also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.0045 µg/L. That is 1.1 times the health limit of 0.004 µg/L that Sweden made law in 2026. The water still passes the current EU limit (0.1 µg/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
How hard is the water in Giberville?
The water hardness in Giberville is 24.9 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
