PFAS in the tap water of Remicourt (Marne): under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No 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 Le Vieil-Dampierre, on the same distribution network as Remicourt (CCAC SECTEUR VIEIL-DAMPIERRE). 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 Remicourt, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 3 July 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: <0,029 µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Le Vieil-Dampierre, on the same network. 2 checks since 18 June 2025, sum of 20 PFAS always below the detection limit (29 ng/L).

PFAS over time in Remicourt
2 PFAS checks since 18 June 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Remicourt.
“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 | < 29 ng/L | Le Vieil-Dampierre | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | < 28 ng/L | Remicourt |
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 Remicourt safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 3 July 2026, the tap water in Remicourt was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Coliform bacteria 1 n/(100mL) on 18 June 2025 (reference ≤ 0 mL)). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Le résultat des prélèvements effectués révèle une qualité d'EAU CONFORME aux limites de qualité microbiologiques. Néanmoins, un dénombrement de bactéries coliformes supérieur à la référence de qualité a été détecté. Ces germes ne sont pas préjudiciab les à la santé publique mais révèlent la nécessité de vérifier les installations de production, de traitement et de distribution de l'eau. L'EAU ET LES INSTALLATIONS SONT A SURVEILLER. Maintenir un résiduel en chlore de 0,3 mg/l sur l'ensemble du réseau.”
How high are PFAS levels in Remicourt's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Remicourt 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 Remicourt'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 Remicourt?
No hardness value is available for Remicourt in this source.
