    So I'm changing my water source in hopes of saving a bit of money, but I'm not sure if my water is decent. I do not see any levels of Chlorine, but I do see Flouride (which I know is in most drinking-water supplies. Any steps I should take with my current water?

    Thanks

    I've seen a lot of useless municipal water reports in my day but this one clearly should be up for some kind of award. You will need to send a sample off to Ward Labs in order to learn anything useful about this water.

    I had a feeling that was going to be the response, I'll see if they are able to send me a more inclusive version of the list with the stuff required, before I send a sample to Ward Labs (I doubt it) but hey you never know!

    Here are the results I received via the City Water.

    I'm still going to send it off a sample to a lab, what do you guys think. It's not overly helpful.

    I am in a similar situation, in that the published water report was useless for brewing purposes. I sent an email out to the water district, and they were happy to send me everything I needed.

    Worth a try, and might save you a few bucks.
