Drinking water quality in Sens

Region: Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Population: 27,106 Water supplier: CAGS Latest sample: 6 May 2026
Passes the EU legal limit and below the health limit

PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit
<0,029 µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,029 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (6 May 2026)

Health limit (used in Sweden)
0 µg/L the 4 most harmful PFAS (PFAS-4) · Limit: 0.004 µg/L below health limit

The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.

Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Frequently asked questions

Is tap water in Sens safe to drink?

Yes. The latest official test (6 May 2026) checked the tap water in Sens and it passed every requirement.

How high are PFAS levels in Sens's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,029 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Does the water in Sens also meet the strictest limits in Europe?

Yes. Even against Europe's strictest limit, the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026, the measured value of 0 µg/L stays below.

How hard is the water in Sens?

The water hardness in Sens is 26.56 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
