Drinking water quality in Volx
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at 0.003 µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 3 % of the limit. (5 December 2024)
This source does not list each PFAS substance separately, so we cannot compare this water with the health limit.

Official assessment
The latest official test passed all quality requirements.
„Eau d'alimentation conforme aux limites de qualité mais dépassement de la référence de qualité pour le paramètre température. Taux de chlore insuffisant. Une vérification de l'appareil de désinfection est nécessaire. Le taux de chlore libre à atteindre est de 0,3 mg/l en sortie production et de 0,1 mg/l en tout point du réseau.“
