Village of Avoca, N.Y. Brewer's Water Analysis

Because the village I live in does not provide a complet water report I sent a sample of my tap water to Ward Laboratories in Nebraska because that is what Denny Con and others like themadfermentist and John Palmer recommended. For $27.25 in February of 2015 I received a very nice brewer's water analysis by email 2 days after they received the sample. I'm posting the result here in the event it may be useful to any other  brewer's in Avoca. I highly doubt that since I would probably already know them in this tiny little village but it doesn't hurt me to post it.
