Ok,
I am new to brewing. I have two extract brews under my belt, and am making teh switch to all grain on my next batches.
My landlord threw a wrench in teh spokes by deciding to sell teh property I have leased for the last 3.5 years.
Long story short, I am leasing a house in town = new water.
I am slowly wrapping my head around teh chemistry aspects of brewing, but want to see if anyone spots anything of concern in my local water report.
Here is a link to the easy to read PDF...I have tried to copy and paste everything pertinent below, however.

NITRATE-NITRITE 2/25/2013 0.01 - 0.02 ppm
TTHM 2013 6.98 ppb
COPPER 2010 - 2012 0.0159 - 0.143 ppm
LEAD 2010 - 2012 1.23 - 7.7 ppb

GROSS ALPHA PARTICLE ACTIVITY 3/12/2013 8.4 - 10.2 pCi/l
RADIUM-226 3/12/2013 1.6 - 3.7 pCi/l
CHROMIUM, HEX 5/16/2013 0 - 0.034
STRONTIUM 5/10/2013 2.72 - 894
ALKALINITY, CACO3 STABILITY 1/17/2012 322 - 333MG/L

TDS 1/17/2012 370 - 415 MG/L
ZINC 1/17/2012 0.00345 - 0.0142 MG/L 5
I see no Chlorine or Chloramine?
I do see TTHM?
Do I need campden or not?
I have an RV hose and RV charcoal filter which I used with my well water, I will use the same with the city water.
I have much to learn, and want to move forward with getting down teh grain process before loading myself too heavily with perfecting the water science.
But I also know I need to make sure I am at least acceptable to move forward or do whatever basic precautions to have a reasonable outcome.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
ANd thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions.
