White Marsh is city water. Most of the Baltimore suburban counties use the same water except Caroll County. Someone mentioned DC, that is an entirely separate system that includes Montgomery County and Prince George's County. Baltimore has pretty good water for brewing. There is a change in late summer when they start to draw Susquehanna River water but I've made fine beer either way. You should to carbon filter it. For extra credit points use the published water chemistry stats to adjust with additives. I really don't think RO is necessary. Otherwise as is (filtered) it makes good ales. Cut it 50:50 with distilled water to make a good lager.
