PFAS in Saint-Jean-de-la-Haize's tap water: 4.8 ng/L, 9.6x our 0.5 ng/L benchmark
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
9.6× above our health benchmark
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 Chavoy, on the same distribution network as Saint-Jean-de-la-Haize (LES MONTS). 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.
Substances below the detection limit count as 0, so the real total may be higher.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).
More PFAS than in 92% of the cities we track

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Saint-Jean-de-la-Haize safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 29 April 2026, the tap water in Saint-Jean-de-la-Haize was within every limit tested. “L'eau distribuée était au moment du prélèvement, conforme aux exigences de qualité (limites et références) en vigueur. Sur le plan chimique, il convient cependant de noter la faible neutralisation de l'échantillon prélevé.”
How high are PFAS levels in Saint-Jean-de-la-Haize's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 4.8 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Saint-Jean-de-la-Haize also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 4.8 ng/L. That is 1.2 times Sweden's legal limit of 4 ng/L, in force since 2026. Germany will set a similar one in 2028. The water still passes the current EU legal limit (100 ng/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
How hard is the water in Saint-Jean-de-la-Haize?
The water hardness in Saint-Jean-de-la-Haize is 7.8 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
