PFAS in La Villeneuve's tap water: under 13 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 13 ng/L, 26 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 La Mazière-aux-Bons-Hommes, on the same distribution network as La Villeneuve (MERINCHAL ST BARD). 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 1.5 to 5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 13 ng/L rather than zero.

In La Villeneuve, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 28 April 2026. The total is below 13 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 26 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in La Mazière-aux-Bons-Hommes, on the same network. 2 checks since 14 October 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in La Villeneuve
2 PFAS checks since 14 October 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to La Villeneuve.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 13 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | La Mazière-aux-Bons-Hommes | |
| < 6 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | Basville |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result
What the latest check found
At the latest check, the water was within every limit tested.
Values to watch
These results are close to their legal limit, or over it.
Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 112 µS/cm on 26 August 2025 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in La Villeneuve safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 28 April 2026, the tap water in La Villeneuve was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 112 µS/cm on 26 August 2025 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité définies par le Code de la Santé Publique, pour les paramètres mesurés au moment du prélèvement, à l’exception du paramètre conductivité. Cette eau très peu minéralisée, corrosive pour les métaux, nécessite un traitement de neutralisation.”
How high are PFAS levels in La Villeneuve's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at –. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at – of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in La Villeneuve also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, but the laboratory's detection limits add up to 13 ng/L, above Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026, so a value between the two would go unnoticed.
Are PFAS levels rising in La Villeneuve's tap water?
Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.
How hard is the water in La Villeneuve?
No hardness value is available for La Villeneuve in this source.
