PFAS in Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer's tap water: under 4 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 4 ng/L, 8 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 Madeleine-Bouvet, on the same distribution network as Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer (PAS ST L'HOMER PERRUCHET). 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 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

In Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 19 March 2026. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 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 Madeleine-Bouvet, on the same network. 3 checks since 31 March 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer
3 PFAS checks since 31 March 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “PAS ST L'HOMER PERRUCHET”.
“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 | Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | La Madeleine-Bouvet | PAS ST L'HOMER PERRUCHET | |
| < 6 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | Bretoncelles | PAS ST L'HOMER PERRUCHET | |
| < 6 ng/L · calculated | < detection limit | Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer | PAS ST L'HOMER REPESSERIE |
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

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer safe to drink?
The authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. Outside a reference value: Iron 429 µg/L on 6 July 2026 (reference ≤ 200 µg/L). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité bactériologique et physico-chimique en vigueur pour les paramètres recherchés. Eau d'alimentation conforme aux références de qualité bactériologique en vigueur pour les paramètres recherchés. Cependant, eau ne respectant pas les références de qualité physico-chimique en vigueur en raison de la teneur en fer total de l'eau distribuée qui est supérieure à la valeur limite maximale fixée à 200 µg/L. Prendre toutes les dispositions nécessaires afin de fournir en permanence une eau conforme à la référence de qualité et maintenir les taux en chlore à un niveau suffisant pour garantir l'efficacité de la désinfection.”
How high are PFAS levels in Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer'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 Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
As far as this check can tell, yes. None of the four compounds was quantified, so their total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the laboratory's detection limits, and under Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L in force since 2026.
Are PFAS levels rising in Le Pas-Saint-l'Homer'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.
