PFAS in Maslacq's tap water: under 17 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 17 ng/L, 34 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 Mont, on the same distribution network as Maslacq (GAVE ET BAISE). 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 to 5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 17 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 17 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Maslacq, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 26 May 2026. The total is below 17 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 34 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <0,1 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Mont, on the same network. 4 checks since 15 July 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 10 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Maslacq
4 PFAS checks since 15 July 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 4 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Maslacq.
“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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 17 ng/L · calculated | < 100 ng/L | Mont | |
| 2 ng/L – < 17 ng/L · calculated | 2 ng/L | Mourenx | |
| 2.5 ng/L – < 17.5 ng/L · calculated | 3 ng/L | Tarsacq | |
| 10.2 ng/L – < 20.2 ng/L · calculated | 10 ng/L | Poey-de-Lescar |
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 Maslacq safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 6 July 2026, the tap water in Maslacq was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité. On constate cependant une température de l'eau élevée.”
How high are PFAS levels in Maslacq's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 100 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 100 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Maslacq 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 17 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 Maslacq'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 Maslacq?
No hardness value is available for Maslacq 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 Maslacq, so in principle the same water.
