Dear Freckled Beauty,

Ft. Wyane, as every major city in the U.S., is required to analyze the 
city water on a frequent basis and make that information available to the 
public.  A net search of keywords:

Ft. Wayne Indiana drinking water quality report

produced several applicable sites.  A general overview of the water 
situation, called Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat News, is found at:
 http://www.glhabitat.org/
news/glnews5.html

A very good online Drinking Water Handbook for Fort Wayne, IN is found at:
 http://www.ci.ft-
wayne.in.us/city_utilities/water_handbook/

The oficial Ft. Wayne, Indiana water quality report for the year 2000, 
looks like it would give you everything you need, but unfortunately, only 
the middle portion of the brochure was scanned.  This left off the 
identities of the cheimcal components on the analysis sheet.  If you can 
get a complete copy of this report from the city personnel, it should be a 
good source.  It is on the net at:
 http://www.ci.ft-
wayne.in.us/city_utilities/ccr2001.pdf

I hope this helps.
