PFAS in the tap water of Lagarde (Ariège): none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
not precise enough to compare
Some of the four PFAS were too small for the lab to measure. The check cannot say whether this water is above or below our benchmark of 0.5 ng/L.
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 Moulin-Neuf, on the same distribution network as Lagarde (LAGARDE). 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.
Substances below the detection limit count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

In Lagarde, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was found in a measurable amount at the latest PFAS check on 1 July 2025. That's below the detection limit, so there's no verdict against our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,002 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Moulin-Neuf, on the same network.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Lagarde safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 23 July 2026, the tap water in Lagarde was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité.”
How high are PFAS levels in Lagarde's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 2 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 2 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Lagarde also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
The check cannot say. None of the four compounds was quantified, and the source does not publish detection limits fine enough to compare their total with Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
How hard is the water in Lagarde?
No hardness value is available for Lagarde in this source.
Where does this data come from?
All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 21 September 2026.
Same water network
Same distribution network as Lagarde, so in principle the same water.
