PFAS in Maumusson's tap water: under 6 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 6 ng/L, 12 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 Puygaillard-de-Lomagne, on the same distribution network as Maumusson (LAVIT (UDI)). 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 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 6 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 6 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Maumusson, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 18 May 2026. The total is below 6 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 12 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Puygaillard-de-Lomagne, on the same network. 2 checks since 25 November 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit (44 ng/L).

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Maumusson
2 PFAS checks since 25 November 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Maumusson.
“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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| < detection limit | < detection limit | Puygaillard-de-Lomagne | |
| < 6 ng/L · calculated | < 44 ng/L | Saint-Michel |
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 Maumusson safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 18 May 2026, the tap water in Maumusson was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité. La teneur mesurée en chlorites dépasse la référence de qualité établie à 0,20 mg/L. Elle est cependant inférieure à la limite de qualité fixée à 0,7mg/L lorsqu'une méthode de désinfection des eaux destinées à la consommation humaine qui génère des chlorites est utilisée. La valeur la plus faible doit être visée sans compromettre la désinfection.”
How high are PFAS levels in Maumusson'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 Maumusson 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 6 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 Maumusson'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 Maumusson?
No hardness value is available for Maumusson in this source.
