PFAS in Septmoncel les Molunes's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
None of the 4 most harmful PFAS detected
The lab sees nothing below 4 ng/L, 8 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 Les Rousses, on the same distribution network as Septmoncel les Molunes (SIAEP DU PLATEAU DES ROUSSES). 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 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 4 ng/L rather than zero.

In Septmoncel les Molunes, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 20 April 2026. The total is below 4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 6 ng/L (0.006 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Les Rousses, on the same network. 3 checks since 6 October 2025, PFAS-4 always below the detection limit (4 ng/L).

PFAS over time in Septmoncel les Molunes
4 PFAS checks since 14 May 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Septmoncel les Molunes. Samples come from 2 distribution networks. The trend refers to the network “SIAEP DU PLATEAU DES ROUSSES”.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.
| Date | PFAS-4 | Sum of 20 PFAS | Sampled at | Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 4 ng/L | 6 ng/L | Les Rousses | SIAEP DU PLATEAU DES ROUSSES | |
| < 4 ng/L | < 29 ng/L | Les Rousses | SIAEP DU PLATEAU DES ROUSSES | |
| < 4 ng/L | 6 ng/L | La Pesse | SIAEP DU HAUT JURA SUD | |
| < 4 ng/L · calculated | 1 ng/L | Les Rousses | SIAEP DU PLATEAU DES ROUSSES |
Calculated values: “<” is an upper bound from published thresholds, “≥” a lower bound, “–” means no published sum or complete measurement. How to read a PFAS result

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Septmoncel les Molunes safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 8 June 2026, the tap water in Septmoncel les Molunes was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux exigences de qualité en vigueur pour l'ensemble des paramètres mesurés.”
How high are PFAS levels in Septmoncel les Molunes's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 6 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 6 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Septmoncel les Molunes 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 4 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 Septmoncel les Molunes's tap water?
Too few quantified checks to say (0 since 14 May 2025). pfasnearme adds each new publication weekly; a trend needs at least three quantified values. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Septmoncel les Molunes?
The water hardness in Septmoncel les Molunes is 17.2 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 12 September 2026.
