PFAS in Vassy-sous-Pisy's tap water: under 4 ng/L, none of the four main PFAS detected
Last PFAS check: · Source: Hub'eau
PFAS in drinking water
No 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 Bierry-les-Belles-Fontaines, on the same distribution network as Vassy-sous-Pisy (BIERRY-LES-BF). 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Vassy-sous-Pisy safe to drink?
Yes. At the check on 9 July 2026, the tap water in Vassy-sous-Pisy was within every limit tested. Outside a reference value: Coliform bacteria 3 n/(100mL) on 9 July 2026 (reference ≤ 0 mL)). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Présence suspecte de bactéries coliformes malgré la chloration. De plus, il est à noter une teneur en chlore libre très élevée ce qui peut générer à long terme, des risques sanitaires de par la formation de sous-produits de désinfection (dont les THM Trialométhanes). Il est donc indispensable de revoir les conditions de fonctionnement du dispositif de désinfection et d'assurer un suivi rigoureux et régulier, afin de garantir en permanence aux usagers un taux de désinfection de l'eau satisfaisant.. La teneur en chlore résiduel sur le réseau de distribution doit se situer entre 0,1 et 0,2 mg/l.”
How high are PFAS levels in Vassy-sous-Pisy's drinking water?
At the latest check the total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was below the laboratory's reporting limit of 29 ng/L. The EU limit is 100 ng/L, so this water is under 29 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Vassy-sous-Pisy 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 Vassy-sous-Pisy's tap water?
Calculated PFAS-4 values are listed in the table. The chart uses laboratory-published sum-of-20 results; there are too few laboratory-published PFAS-4 sums for the existing trend calculation.
How hard is the water in Vassy-sous-Pisy?
No hardness value is available for Vassy-sous-Pisy in this source.
