Pflugerville, Texas (source: Lake Pflugerville, surface water)
Collected 3/31/2009, analyzed by Ward Labs
pH 8.3
TDS 322
Sodium 25 ppm
Potassium 3 ppm
Calcium 46 ppm
Magnesium 16 ppm
Total Hardness as CaCO3 182 ppm
Sulfate 12 ppm
Chloride 44 ppm

* Chloramine is the primary disinfectant used, amount is unknown but chloramines are known to be a problem (especially after hard rains cause runoff into the lake) so I treat all brewing liquor as well as all water used for cleaning and sanitizing equipment with Campden 1/2 tablet to 10 gallons or filter with a ChlorPlus 10 filter.

Ward-lab report so it is possible there was extra salt in the pipes even after I ran it for 10 minutes after bypassing the softener. That would partially explain the chloride and sodium levels.

They are missing a few that seem relevant to brewing but does anyone see anything wrong with this water for general brewing purposes.
Listening to John it seems like the Sulfate could be a little higher.
