Help me analyze my water report

[KIAKillerXJ]

So I'm fortunate enough to live in North Lake Tahoe, and there are all sorts of campaigns and such advocating the drinking and use of our local water since it comes from the Lake and is considered very pure. By taste it is excellent. I've always wondered for brew quality, however, how it stacks up. Finally was able to track down a report, but don't know what any of it means!

oh, and I should be that first column, "tahoe main system...Lake Tahoe, Ntl Ave"

That seems to be a contaminant report - unfortunately it does not include the data you need to evaluate your water for brewing. You're looking for specific ion concentrations - try this link for a basic overview:

You may be able to contact your water utility to request the specific data you need.
