Memmingen drinking water shines: Pfas kept almost completely away!

A comprehensive investigation has shown that drinking water in Memmingen is almost free of harmful Pfas chemicals. These substances known as "eternal drives" are suspected of causing health problems because they persistently accompany themselves in the environment and human body. In view of the public concern about possible loads from drinking water, food and other sources, the city took the matter seriously and had a special examination carried out.

of a total of 20 PfAS connections tested had a value of zero. A single substance, on the other hand, showed a minimal value of 0.0017 micrograms per liter, which is far below the legal limit that will only apply from 2026. Marcus Geske, head of Stadtwerke Memmingen, is pleased with the positive result and emphasizes the excellent quality of the Memmingen drinking water.
