Very unlikely. Possible but very unlikely. Why don't you call the water
department up and ask?

It seems to take an awful lot and I'm not sure what the upper limits are but
for most plants in a CO2 planted tank, say 100ppm of Mg at least. That's a
fair amount. That's what my tap has anyhoo. SO4, Ca even higher
