Long Island Water Report

[Bwood1377]

So I decided to look at my water report for my area and it generally seems to be ok (I think) but I wanted to get more experienced opinions on it. It tastes ok when I drink it just not sure if there's anything I might need to do to improve it. Thanks for your help.

I would guess that it is very similar to mine (area 18). The water report shows very big differences between max and min, but I just use the average. I've been using it for A.G. brewing since 1994 without any problems. I do need extra Calcium for everything, and extra Sulfates for most of my beers (pale ales), which I do with Gypsum and a small amount of CaCl2, and I use a small amount of lactic acid to reduce the pH of my sparge water, but that's all.

Area 14 in Suffolk county. Local brewery says water company starts to use chlorine when temps go up so you do probably want to filter at least in summer.
