Drinking water quality in Ollioules
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.015 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 15 % of the limit. (13 May 2026)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.004 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).
Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Ollioules safe to drink?
Yes. The latest official test (25 June 2026) checked the tap water in Ollioules and it passed every requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Ollioules's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.015 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 15 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Ollioules also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest limit, the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026, the measured value of 0.004 µg/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Ollioules?
The water hardness in Ollioules is 27.13 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
