Our water system in the city stopped using chlorine many years ago and uses chloramines. The underground pipes are full of algae that is bacteria.
Three times a year we get a notice in our water bill they will be switching over from chloramines to chlorine to clean the pipes over a period of 16 days. They say you may smell the chlorine or taste it the level is okay.
I took a trip to my local water plant to learn all about this. It's a very good field trip for anybody on this board to go visit their local water plant for a tour. We are now on reverse osmosis water however the pipes must still be cleaned. Even though we are on RO water I still have a taste and odor filter for chlorine under my kitchen sink.
Have you ever swam in a pool? Have you ever gulped water? Let me tell you those levels are much higher. Swimming pool water regulations are much higher than drinking water.
