Drinking water quality in Saint-Vit
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.028 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 28 % of the limit. (2 February 2026)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.017 µg/L. That is 4.3 times the health limit of 0.004 µg/L that Sweden made law in 2026. Germany will set a similar limit in 2028.
One of these four, PFOA, is classified as causing cancer in humans by the WHO's cancer research agency (IARC).
Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Official assessment
The latest official test passed all quality requirements.
„EAU CONFORME (code de la santé publique). L'eau prélevée respecte les exigences de qualité réglementaire des eaux destinées à l'alimentation humaine pour les paramètres analysés. Cependant, les concentrations en chlore sont trop élevées ce qui entraînent des désagréments pour les usagers et peuvent conduire à la production de substances organochlorées. Il convient de maintenir un résiduel en chlore libre de 0,1 mg/l en distribution.“

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Saint-Vit safe to drink?
Yes. The latest official test (8 June 2026) checked the tap water in Saint-Vit and it passed every requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Saint-Vit's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.028 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 28 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Saint-Vit also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
No. The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0.017 µg/L. That is 4.3 times the health limit of 0.004 µg/L that Sweden made law in 2026. The water still passes the current EU limit (0.1 µg/L for the total of 20 PFAS).
How hard is the water in Saint-Vit?
The water hardness in Saint-Vit is 25.9 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
