Is my water suitable for making beer?

Here is a 2010 copy of my water report. they don't have a 2011 one yet for some reason.... Anyway is this suitable and what would you add to make it better?

I'd do something to get rid of chlorine. Carbon filter or campden tabs. The rest of the report is useless for brewing. It doesn't tell you anything about minerals in the water. I'd say just brew with it and see how it goes. Don't add anything to it unless you know what you're doing. Adding random salts is more likely to hurt than help.

Look on the web site again, because what you posted isn't the part of the water report that you need. Here's an example of the info you are looking for (my water report);

Total Dissolved Solids 470
Phenol Alkalinity as CaCO3 <1.0
Total Alkalinity as CaCO3 115
Total Hardness as CaCO3 149
Chlorides as Cl 177
Sulfates as SO4 71

Silica as SiO2 32
Nitrates as NO3 1.96
Nitrites as NO2 <0.05
Phosphates as PO4 <0.05

Magnesium as Mg 11.3
Sodium as Na 105
Potassium as K 7.3
