Drinking water quality in Meymac
PFAS in drinking water
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <SEUIL µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (8 June 2026)
The four most harmful PFAS add up to 0 µg/L, below the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026.
Substances too small to measure count as 0, so the real total may be higher.

Frequently asked questions
Is tap water in Meymac safe to drink?
Yes. The latest official test (8 June 2026) checked the tap water in Meymac and it passed every requirement.
How high are PFAS levels in Meymac's drinking water?
The total of 20 PFAS ("forever chemicals") was last measured at <SEUIL µg/L. The EU limit is 0.1 µg/L, so this water is at 0 % of the limit. (below the EU limit)
Does the water in Meymac also meet the strictest limits in Europe?
Yes. Even against Europe's strictest limit, the health limit of 0.004 µg/L used in Sweden since 2026, the measured value of 0 µg/L stays below.
How hard is the water in Meymac?
The water hardness in Meymac is 5 °f (soft). This mainly matters for household appliances and detergent dosing, not for health.
Where does this data come from?
All values come from official publications: Hub'eau, Qualité de l'eau potable (Ministère de la Santé / OFB / BRGM). Retrieved on 28 August 2026.
