PFAS in Montliard's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
None of the 4 most harmful 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 Boiscommun, on the same distribution network as Montliard (SYNDICAT DES EAUX DE BOISCOMMUN). 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.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Montliard, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 13 January 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: 27 ng/L (0.027 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Boiscommun, on the same network. 2 checks since 11 February 2025: sum of 20 PFAS up to 27 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Montliard
2 PFAS checks since 11 February 2025, from the published measurements.
“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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | 27 ng/L | Boiscommun | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < 100 ng/L | Boiscommun |
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 Montliard safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 13 January 2026, the tap water in Montliard was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés. La teneur en chlorure de vinyle monomère ne vaut que pour le secteur où elle a été mesurée.”
How high are PFAS levels in Montliard's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 27 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 27 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Montliard 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 Montliard'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 Montliard?
No hardness value is available for Montliard in this source.
