To be honest, my philosophy is never to correct water unless you are trying to clone a beer. Some of the greatest, most unique beers break the rules on water. Don't allow yourself to get dragged down by the technicalities of the water. That all being said, if you have Chlorine it will boil off. Chloramines on the other hand won't and have to be treated I think that's how you rid it anyway. It looks like you have fairly soft water there (I think most bottled water is more soft), and I think it puts you best suited to very light colored beers...at least I am pretty sure.

If you print that out and draw the lines through your ppm it will set you in the right direction.

don't worry so much about water...if you don't like the water a bunch of people use bottled water but it shoudn't be the main focus
