For the life of me I can't find a water profile or analysis that is useful to me. I live in Reno and the utility service is the Truckee Meadows Water Authority. They have a water quality report, but the only data of relevance for a brewer is chlorine levels. EPA's website only has water quality reports for stupid Las Vegas.

Where can I find a water profile that is of some use?

I have the same problem where I live as well.... Their report is basically useless.
You would be much better served having your tested yourself. The results would be much more accurate IMHO. Look here - Ward Laboratories, Agricultural Testing, Consulting, Kearney, Nebraska

Ask for it.

I think you missed this part of his post -

It appears as if he has already asked for it and it basically sucks.

Yeah, I had put some consideration into that. I just don't want to pay for it. *SIGH* Oh well, just another thing that will have to wait.

I paid for the water analysis. Well worth it IMO, it only costs a few bucks. The worst part is the inconvenience of shipping the sample, which really isn't much. They'll even email the results to you.
