STATE FAQ
Common questions about hard water in Meghalaya.
Is Meghalaya a hard water state?+
Meghalaya averages about 193 ppm across 36 covered cities and towns, which puts much of the state in a moderate hard-water range for household appliances. That is enough to create visible scale, slower heating, and higher maintenance needs even when the water looks normal.
Which city has the highest TDS in Meghalaya?+
In this dataset, Tura is currently the highest covered city in Meghalaya at about 210 ppm. That level is strong enough to justify more aggressive descaling for geysers, kettles, and washing machines.
How often should appliances be descaled in Meghalaya?+
In lower-TDS parts of Meghalaya, appliances usually need periodic rather than constant descaling, but regular maintenance still matters because repeated heating leaves deposits behind over time.
Does water vary across cities in Meghalaya?+
Yes. Meghalaya is not one uniform water market. In this dataset the range runs from about 155 ppm in Mawsynram up to about 210 ppm in Tura, which is why city-level pages matter more than broad statewide assumptions.
