Quick Reference

Lahore Bore Water TDS — At a Glance

---

The most frequently asked question Aqua Prima receives: “What is the TDS of bore water in my area?” This table provides typical observed ranges from our field experience.

Lahore Area	Typical TDS (ppm)	Typical Hardness	RO Needed?	Softener Needed?
Ichhra	900–1800	Very high (400–800 mg/L)	Yes	Essential
Shama Chowk	800–1600	High to very high	Yes	Usually required
Baba Azam Chowk / Ferozepur Rd	800–1700	High	Yes	Usually required
Samanabad	700–1600	High	Yes	Recommended
Rehmanpura	800–1700	Very high	Yes	Essential
Muslim Town	600–1400	High	Yes	Test first
Garden Town / Gulberg	500–1200	Moderate to high	Usually yes	Test first
WASA supply	200–500 (variable)	Moderate	If TDS elevated	Usually not required

Typical observed ranges only. Individual bore wells vary. A site-specific water test is always required before system design.
