I moved to OK and haven't had my water sent off to a lab yet, but I was curious if I could get some advice. I have attached the city water report. I have been using a carbon filter, but I am sure that I need something more. I have also purchased Brew Chem 101 which I will be reading on my deployment later this month. Thanks for the help!

That report provides insufficient information to be useful for brewing. It does say that they use chlorine for sanitation - so you will need to deal with that with campden or slow filtering.

The rest of the report seems focused on contaminants.

I would also suggest reading through Bru'n Water's Knowledge page https://sites.google.com/site/brunwater/water-knowledge and the book on Water by Palmer/Kaminsky.
 
I knew about the chlorine that's why I bought the filter. I will definately check out the link you posted, thanks for the help
