PFAS in Veigné's tap water: under 3 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 ng/L, 6 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 Montbazon, on the same distribution network as Veigné (MONTBAZON). 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 0.5 to 1.5 ng/L upward. None reached that limit, so their total is below 3 ng/L rather than zero.

In Veigné, none of the 4 most closely watched PFAS (PFAS-4) was detected at the latest PFAS check on 18 June 2026. The total is below 3 ng/L, the sum of the detection limits and 6 times our 0.5 ng/L benchmark. Sum of 20 PFAS: 0.5 ng/L (0.0005 µg/L), below the EU legal limit (100 ng/L). Sampled in Montbazon, on the same network. 5 checks since 12 June 2024: sum of 20 PFAS up to 0.7 ng/L, sometimes below the detection limit.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Veigné safe to drink?
The authorities have not published an overall verdict for this water. Outside a reference value: Electrical conductivity 1,256 µS/cm on 7 July 2026 (reference 200–1,100 µS/cm). These are indicator parameters with reference values, not legal limits. “Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité et non conforme aux références de qualité pour le paramètre conductivité (mesure la quantité de minéraux dissous de l'eau). Cette situation a pour origine la nature de la ressource exploitée (nappe du cénomanien) et ne présente pas un danger pour la santé des consommateurs. Ce contrôle fait suite aux résultats d'analyses du prélèvement du 02/06/2026 qui présentaient une concentration en fluorures non conforme.”
How high are PFAS levels in Veigné's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.5 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 Veigné 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 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 Veigné'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 Veigné?
The water hardness in Veigné is 23 °f (medium). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
