Paris Water Authority to Sue Over PFAS Contamination in Drinking Water

Eau de Paris announces legal action and demands industrial polluters cover rising decontamination costs.

Eau de Paris has confirmed that current PFAS levels in the city's drinking water comply with upcoming 2026 regulatory limits.
PFAS, also known as 'forever chemicals,' are nearly indestructible substances linked to health risks and widespread environmental contamination.
The water authority plans to file a lawsuit against unidentified parties responsible for PFAS pollution in its water supply network.
Eau de Paris is urging chemical manufacturers to bear the financial burden of increased water treatment costs caused by PFAS contamination.
The authority reassured residents that Paris's drinking water remains safe and compliant with existing and future health standards.
