I am getting a summer water report done by Ward labs, hopefully its different from winter or ill have wasted 30 bucks

 

[ajdelange]

No you won't. You'll have learned that your summer and winter water characteristics are about the same. That's valuable information.

Ward Labs report (5/17/2014) for Tempe, AZ posted!

Here's a question I asked earlier in an other thread that no one answered:

Does the water makeup indeed stay the same year-round, or does it change? Does it depend on the water source? If the water comes from a river, I can't see the values staying the same year-round, but maybe they do. It seems like the very premise of this project is founded on the water being the same in every household in a given area, all year.

Yes the water could change. My water company said it depends on the Ohio River height. With that said, my test results matched very closely to what they told me the numbers were months before. So I should probably ask them for updates every few months.

Turns out my measurements were pretty much exact within 1-2ppm. The first measured Nov 2013, this latest one the end of June 2014..so its good to know that our water here doesnt change much!

Also turns out i could have saved some money, after digging around more looking for water source information to make sure that our water source had swapped(which it had) i found this link..i guess it shouldnt surprise me with all of the large industry in the area. The water reports from the city that have very detailed stuff in it, and from what i can tell everything i would need going forward which means no more Ward labs for me.

Can you take a quick look at these AJ and or someone else? I am pretty sure across these two PDF's has everything i would need plus some.

Also im glad to know that we have low levels of Choroform in our water, WTF? Lol

Wish I had seen this post before I had my test done. Thanks for the info will post my results. Sarasota County drinking water after running through a charcoal filter.

I added mine for Eagan, MN...

Late to the party, but I'm happy to help. I can draw the boundaries for Salem, OR, and I know how to add the pins. For info, do I need to send a sample of my tap water out, or can I just post the city water report details?
Salem's water report

It's mostly about solids and baddies, no pH or info like that. So are most folks mailing off a tap sample to Wards?

I don't like the taste of our tap water, so I always have used bottled water from the supermarket to brew (which I'm sure is someone else's tap water).

I have, but then it matched up pretty well with what my water company told me so I've only done it once.

Added my 2012 data for Central NJ

I wish this was a sticky and more readily available to more folks interested in brewing water...

 

[tflew]

I second the sticky idea. I just stumbled across this and added my water report for Altadena, CA

 

[mkirkland]

I added my water report from TX, first one for the entire state!

 

[Devin]

I just added information for White Rock, NM.

 

[browntown52]

I have, but then it matched up pretty well with what my water company told me so I've only done it once.

OK, I drew the rough boundaries and linked the municipal water report. If/when I run a actual sample from my tap, I'll drop a pin with the info.

I vote for a sticky too - this seems like an obvious sticky candidate.
