If you don't have a water report for your tap water, you are just shooting in the dark. Until you know what's in the tap water, you should use RO water. Water chemistry for AG brewing can get rather involved. Fortunately, there is an excellent primer on HBT that can get you well into the ballpark with some basic water salt additions. Those salts are available at your LHBS for a few bucks.
If it taste good enough to drink than it's good enough to brew with.
