Drinking water quality in Saint-Paul

Region: La Réunion Population: 108,088 Water supplier: LA CREOLE Latest sample: 15 June 2026
Fails the current legal limits

PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit
0.005 µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.005 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 5 % of the limit. (21 April 2026)

This source does not list each PFAS substance separately, so we cannot compare this water with the health limit.
