PFAS in Marcilly-le-Hayer's tap water: under 8 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 8 ng/L, 16 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 Bourdenay, on the same distribution network as Marcilly-le-Hayer (BOURDENAY RESEAU). 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 2 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 8 ng/L rather than zero.

In Marcilly-le-Hayer, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 23 June 2026. The total is below 8 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 16 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,005 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Bourdenay, on the same network. 2 checks since 7 May 2025, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (2 ng/L). Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

PFAS over time in Marcilly-le-Hayer
5 PFAS checks since 12 March 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 3 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Marcilly-le-Hayer. Samples come from 3 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “BOURDENAY RESEAU”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Marcilly-le-Hayer safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 8 July 2026, the tap water in Marcilly-le-Hayer was within every limit tested. “Compte tenu des paramètres contrôlés, cette eau est conforme aux limites et références de qualité des eaux destinées à la consommation humaine, définies par l'arrêté du 11 janvier 2007, pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés. Il est à noter une teneur en chlore libre trop élevée. La teneur en chlore libre sur le réseau de distribution doit être de l'ordre de 0,1 mg/l.”
How high are PFAS levels in Marcilly-le-Hayer's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 5 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Marcilly-le-Hayer 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 8 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 Marcilly-le-Hayer's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 12 March 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Marcilly-le-Hayer?
The water hardness in Marcilly-le-Hayer is 23.5 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
