Drinking water quality in Plan-d'Orgon
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.003 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (11 April 2025)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.001 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 Plan-d'Orgon safe to drink?
Yes. The latest official test (26 March 2026) checked the tap water in Plan-d'Orgon and it passed every requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Plan-d'Orgon's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.003 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Plan-d'Orgon 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 0.001 µg/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Plan-d'Orgon?
The water hardness in Plan-d'Orgon is 28.43 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
