STATE OVERVIEW
How hard water usually shows up across West Bengal.
West Bengal is another state where river-fed geography can make water feel safe and familiar while still leaving enough mineral load to affect daily-use appliances.
Kolkata, Siliguri, and other urban centers do not usually behave like high-alarm hard-water markets, but repeated heating still creates buildup on kettles, geysers, and bathroom fittings. The challenge is that moderate water problems are easy to postpone, which turns them into long-term appliance inefficiency instead.
West Bengal is best framed as a maintenance-and-clarity market rather than an extreme-hardness market.

STATE FAQ
Common questions about hard water in West Bengal.
Is West Bengal a hard water state?+
West Bengal averages about 285 ppm across 218 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 West Bengal?+
In this dataset, Asansol is currently the highest covered city in West Bengal at about 350 ppm. That level is strong enough to justify more aggressive descaling for geysers, kettles, and washing machines.
How often should appliances be descaled in West Bengal?+
In lower-TDS parts of West Bengal, 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 West Bengal?+
Yes. West Bengal is not one uniform water market. In this dataset the range runs from about 180 ppm in Darjeeling up to about 350 ppm in Asansol, which is why city-level pages matter more than broad statewide assumptions.
