Q: Is tap water in Sospel safe to drink?

Yes. The latest official test (11 June 2026) checked the tap water in Sospel and it passed every requirement.

Q: How high are PFAS levels in Sospel's drinking water?

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,100 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)

Q: How hard is the water in Sospel?

The water hardness in Sospel is 26.87 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.

Fails the current legal limits

PFAS in drinking water

EU legal limit

<0,100 µg/L Limit: 0.1 µg/L within limit

The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <0,100 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (22 April 2025)

This source does not list each PFAS substance separately, so we cannot compare this water with the health limit.
