I am trying to find out whats in my water as it relates to brewing. I found this newsletter on my water Companies web site is the information I need? Scroll down for the detail. This is all about contaminates nothing about elements. What do I need to ask them for?

I got hardness from the same site differnt location - Hardness = 96.5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) OR 5.6 grains per gallon (gpg) Conversion from mg/L to gpg:
(mg/L) / 17.1 = gpg
 
Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Chlorine or chloramine (assume this is already there), Sodium (already stated), Sulfate, Carbonate and bicarbonate is a good start. Then you can enter these into Bru'N Water to see where you are re: residual alkalinity and hardness.
