Drinking water quality in La Suze-sur-Sarthe
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <SEUIL µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (11 May 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.

Official assessment
The latest official test passed all quality requirements.
„Eau conforme aux limites de qualité des eaux destinées à la consommati on humaine fixées par le code de la santé publique. Du point de vue de s références de qualité, un dépassement concernant le fer (référence 2 00µg/l)et le manganèse, peut être signalé. Le re-contrôle réalisé a mo ntré le retour à la normale. Les substances faisant l’objet de références de qualité n’ont pas d’incidence directe pour la santé mais peuvent être à l’origine de désagrément pour le consommateur (eau trouble par exemple dans le cas du fer et du manganèse).“
