PFAS in drinking water

No PFAS detected

Amount found in the water < 19.5 ng/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · the lab's detection limit 20 PFAS looked for, none found
Our health benchmark 0.5 ng/L

The lab sees nothing below 19.5 ng/L, 39 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.

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 to 15 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 19.5 ng/L rather than zero.

None found. The lab sees nothing below 19.5 ng/L, so our 0.5 ng/L benchmark cannot be checked.

In Rebourguil, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 9 June 2026. The total is below 19.5 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 39 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). 4 checks since 25 March 2026, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit.

PFAS over time in Rebourguil

5 PFAS checks since 23 September 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 5 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Rebourguil. Samples come from 3 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “RIVE DROITE”.

“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 Rebourguil safe to drink?

Yes. At the check on 9 June 2026, the tap water in Rebourguil was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité. Eau incrustante.”

How high are PFAS levels in Rebourguil'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 Rebourguil 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 19.5 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 Rebourguil's tap water?

Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 23 September 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.

How hard is the water in Rebourguil?

The water hardness in Rebourguil is 20.8 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Where does this data come from?

All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 21 September 2026.

Same water network

Same distribution network as Rebourguil, so in principle the same water.
