Is Manchester a soft water area?
As strange as it may seem, Manchester actually has some of the softest water in the England. This is quite exceptional for an urban environment, where soft water is normally unavailable and it is commonly assumed that all cities in the UK always have hard water - but this is not always the case. This is not due to the copious amounts of rainfall Manchester receives as the prevailing south westerly rain clouds hits the Pennines hills east of Manchester and reverses back around to Manchester. It is actually because Manchester gets the vast majority of its water supply from the Lake District, the rest is normally supplied by the Manchester Reservoirs and Longdendale Chain.
Thirlmere was constructed in the 19th century and Haweswater in the 1920s by the Manchester Corporation who built a large network of reservoirs around the Manchester, Lake District and Pennines. Consequently these reservoirs are now owned by United Utilities. Both of these reservoirs have some of the softest water in the UK due to being upland surface water reservoirs.
Water has little chance of dissolving minerals because water is collected so high up as opposed to letting the water stream downhill on rock as such as collecting minerals. Furthermore, a lot of rock in North West England consists of granite which has less minerals than the chalky substance. The chalky substance is particularly prevalent in Southern and Eastern England, and as such it is one of the reasons why water can be up to 12 times as hard as water from North West England.
Speaking from a personal experience, soft water will not corrode appliances or pipes and generate as much limescale as hard water does. But I have known people who have been accustomed to hard water who move to areas with soft water and have had to have tooth fillings because their teeth is suffering from the lack of minerals it is so used to getting.

If you look at the area by metropolitan borough instead, then Leeds comes out on top by a healthy margin. So, it just depends on how you look at it, and what exactly you are measuring.
Some other opinions from our community:
- Leeds is 213 square miles and is home to 770,800 people. Manchester is 44.7 square miles and is home to 464,200 people.
- Manchester is far larger than Leeds with a city centre at least 3 times larger. In terms of infrastructure, investment and facilities Manchester is decades ahead of Leeds. In the UK, Manchester has the only international airport outside London. The Manchester conurbation is around 2.6 million compared to the whole of West Yorkshire which is only around 2.1 million.
