So, I think I might a found a water report for where I live(Raleigh). When comparing it to other reports, however, I found that it is missing a couple of things from the list. If this is not suffice, I might call our local brew shops to get more info, and if that doesn't work then I'll just get the info directly from the plant. Anyways, this is what I found:
Parameter Plant Tap
Temperature: 12.9 Celsius
Color, units: 1.1
pH, units: 8.4
Free Carbon Dioxide: mg/l 0.28
Total Alkalinity, mg/l as CaCO 3 36.2
Total Hardness, mg/l as CaCO 3 33.2
Total Dissolved Solids, mg/l 166
Specific Conductivity, uS/cm 250
Iron: mg/l 0.02
Manganese: mg/l 0.01
Fluoride: mg/l 0.69
Chloride: mg/l 18.3
Nitrate: mg/l as N 0.21
Ammonia: mg/l as N 0.08
Silica: mg/l as SiO2 5.9
Silt Density Index (SDI) 2.46
Total Coliform Bacteria * Absent
E. Coli * Absent
Total Trihalomethanes, mg/l 0.010 0.080
Anyways, I hope this works out. I want to start having an understanding of water chemistry, but I figure it wouldn't be worth learning unless I knew our reports.
