Default What is the tap water TDS count in your area?
Always wondered what is the TDS count in different areas?
I used to live in Burnaby it was 21ppm.
Now I am in Port Moody and it is now 12 ppm, however last summer after the wind storm it went up to 45ppm

185 is low compared to many places that are on wells, they have up to 600+.

I am at 86-92 in Winnipeg.
