PFAS levels in tap water since 1990 (FOI)

​Request

Please tell me levels of PFAS in tap water (average) per year, starting from 1990.

Thank you.

Response

The Government of Jersey do not hold information regarding the levels of PFAS in tap water; therefore, Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

However some of the information requested can be found in the Jersey Water annual quality reports, which can be found in the link below:
