Water Parameter questions -

After reading up on how to dose CO2 according to pH and kH, I e-mailed the local water company asking for KH, GH, SO4, NO3, and PO4 in ppm. The director sent an email strait away as follows:
"The following data are composite values taken from recent finished water samples. They are good representations of the water delivered to our customers.
Sulfate: 75
Nitrate: 0.04
Calcium hardness, as Calcium Carbonate: 63.6
Total hardness, as Calcium Carbonate: 106
All units are mg/ L."
Forgive my ignorance here, but I assume "total hardness" is GH and "Calcium hardness, as calcium carbonate" is KH, correct?
Do we use -log(base 10) [x mg/L] formula to get GH and KH?
Was there a previous thread showing the ranges of "high", "medium", and "low" amounts of GH and KH?
