PFAS in Saint-Perreux's tap water: under 3 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 3 ng/L, 6 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 Saint-Jacut-les-Pins, on the same distribution network as Saint-Perreux (SAINT JACUT NORD). 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 0.5 to 1.5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 3 ng/L rather than zero.

In Saint-Perreux, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 23 February 2026. The total is below 3 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 6 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: <SEUIL µg/L, below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Saint-Jacut-les-Pins, on the same network. 2 checks since 20 November 2025, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Saint-Perreux safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 23 June 2026, the tap water in Saint-Perreux was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité mais ne satisfaisan t pas à la référence de qualité pour la température fixée à 25°C, en l ien avec les fortes chaleurs observées.”
How high are PFAS levels in Saint-Perreux'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 Saint-Perreux 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 3 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 Saint-Perreux's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 20 November 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values.
How hard is the water in Saint-Perreux?
The water hardness in Saint-Perreux is 13.9 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
