PFAS in Servon-sur-Vilaine's tap water: under 3.4 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 3.4 ng/L, 6.8 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 Châteaubourg, on the same distribution network as Servon-sur-Vilaine (EAU PORTES BRETAGNE_BILLERIE/GRANGE/PLESSIS BEUCHER_CHATEAUBOURG). 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 0.4 to 1 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 3.4 ng/L rather than zero.

In Servon-sur-Vilaine, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 25 June 2026. The total is below 3.4 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 6.8 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 0.49 ng/L (0.0005 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Châteaubourg, on the same network. 5 checks since 17 June 2025: PFAS-4 up to 3.43 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit, averaging at least 1.17 ng/L over 12 months (non-detects as 0). Falling on the main network. Source: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM).

PFAS over time in Servon-sur-Vilaine
6 PFAS checks since 27 February 2025, from the published measurements. Samples from 2 communes on the same network: it's the same water, so each one applies to Servon-sur-Vilaine.
“Calculated”: PFAS-4 worked out from the four substances in the same sample. The chart, averages and trends use lab-published sums only.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Servon-sur-Vilaine safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 15 July 2026, the tap water in Servon-sur-Vilaine was within every limit tested. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites réglementaires en vigueur, mais ne respectant pas la référence de qualité fixée pour le paramètre température en ce point d'échantillonage. Il convient également de noter l'absence de chlore résiduel sur ce secteur de distribution. D'une façon générale, la présence d'un résiduel de chlore est nécessaire pour se prémunir de la prolifération bactérienne dans les réseaux (objectif souhaitable : 0,1 mg/L de chlore libre). L'exploitant a été informé de cette situation dès connaissance de celle-ci par mon service, pour vérifications et actions correctives d'usage.”
How high are PFAS levels in Servon-sur-Vilaine's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.49 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is at 0.5 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Servon-sur-Vilaine 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 3.4 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 Servon-sur-Vilaine's tap water?
No, they are falling. On the main network, the PFAS-4 sum went from 3.43 ng/L (17 June 2025) to 0.47 ng/L (8 April 2026) across 4 quantified checks. These history statistics use laboratory-published sums only.
How hard is the water in Servon-sur-Vilaine?
The water hardness in Servon-sur-Vilaine is 19 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
