PFAS in Morancez'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 Chartres, on the same distribution network as Morancez (CHARTRES S1). 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 Morancez, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 19 June 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: 1 ng/L (0.001 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Chartres, on the same network. 16 checks since 24 June 2024: sum of 20 PFAS up to 10 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Details and sources
PFAS over time in Morancez
16 PFAS checks since 24 June 2024, from the published measurements. Samples from 5 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Morancez. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “CHARTRES S1”.
“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 Morancez safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 20 July 2026, the tap water in Morancez was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité en vigueur. Toutefo is, la référence de qualité n’est pas atteinte pour le paramètre tempé rature. Une attention particulière doit être portée sur ce paramètre.”
How high are PFAS levels in Morancez's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 1 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 1 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Morancez 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 Morancez'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 Morancez?
The water hardness in Morancez is 30.1 °f (hard). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
