That report doesn't even mention chloride, and all of the stated levels have a really wide range when it comes to brewing. However, if you take the average values, the "average" Calgary water would be most suited for malty and fairly dark (18-23 srm) beers... which means nothing if there is indeed 3 different water sources.

I would definitely contact the City to get more detailed info about the water coming out of your tap. The City of Regina was very helpful when I contacted them, they gave me month by month averages (most water chemistry changes throughout the year).

I contacted the City Of Calgary in regards to a more detailed water profile than they provide online. They got back to me today with a report specific to the Glenmore and Bearspaw reserviors. They are a summary of the whole year. I have attached the files they sent me. They also mentioned that because I live close to downtown, my water would be a mix of the two.

I have the email address and phone number of the guy who sent me the info. So if you have further questions, I would be happy to pass them along. Or if you wish to ask the questions directly, let me know and I will send you his contact info via a PM.

I haven't done anything with the water info yet, but I think taking an average of the min/max is about the best we can do.
