I just thought that I would let everyone know that the suburb that I live in has a water tower... and this water tower's chemicals have recently been 're-balanced'. Which means that they added a whole new bunch of chlorine to the water.
And now our water tastes and smells like pool water!
Seriously, its like, you have a shower, and you feel as if you're having a shower at a public pool. You drink some water, and it tastes like you're drinking pool water! Its sooo gross lol.

Once we had yellow water running through our taps. It was weird. My mom was disgusted.

do you have a brita or something like that, where you can filter out the cholrine, maybe that would help, as for the shower i have no idea what you can do.... i've never had that problem, but yea that sux because you never feel clean....
Atrumentis, chlorine cleans water of bacteria. Water without chlorine may taste fine, but it has a ton of bad stuff in it which are a lot more harmful than chlorine in the amounts they put it in there. I lived in a suburb before and I remember our water was never chlorinated and we got it from a well, and there was a breakout of some really nasty stomach disease and then we couldn't use that well anymore... >_< I lived in a couple places with a lot of chlorine in the water, it never really bothered me. It smells bad but that's about it. >> And I only drink bottled water or boiled water (tea, coffee), I don't ever drink tap water because I don't trust it no matter how much chlorine they put (or not) in it, it doesn't kill everything. Neither, of course, does boiling, but a double check is better than a single check, eh?

Find a chemical which cancels the chlorine, I'm sure there is one.
Hmmm. Does anyone know how our water became yellow? o.O

I thought most of the bad taste of water came from the fluoride, not the chlorine... you should go to the water tower and tip some pure ethanol in there, if i remember correctly it should create a big chlorine gas cloud
and on top of that, everyone will be drunk

That doesn't sound good... I had contaminated water in Ukraine, it was yellow. In our case it was rust, which comes from old pipes rusting. Don't drink that water, all I can tell you. Perhaps you can try to filter it or something, but I wouldn't take the risk if I could avoid it.

Despite the fact that you are joking, the funny part is that ethanol will also disinfect water and could be used instead of chlorine.
We did not drink it. As i said my mom was disgusted and we had to buy those huge water bottles [whatever they are called].
The next day it was all clean.

Maybe a homeless guy fell in and died in your water tank
As for the chlorine, people seem very 'generous' when it comes to harsh chemicals in water... It may cut 5 years of your lifespan (with long term drinking) but as long as you don't curl over and die from some disease in their water then they cant be blamed
People dont seem to care about long term effects... Dont get me wrong, clean water is good but I'm sure they add in more harsh chemicals than required

It wouldn't turn the water yellow. It'll just contaminate it, and even chlorine won't save you from all the crap that a corpse has. And it wouldn't disappear a day later. E.g. Zubin wouldn't be talking right now.

Drinking tap water is lightheaded. It is commonly known that tap water is low-quality water made primarily for showering and laundry, and where did people get the idea that it's healthy is beyond me. Especially if it smells like chlorine or whatever. So if you drink tap water and die 5 years sooner well it's your own fault.

Most people don't die from chlorine. Most people die from bad hygine (sharing soda bottles, clothes, beds; unprotected sex, lunch rooms and cafeterias), body damage (sports injuries), bad diet, no exercise or too much exercise or disbalanced exercise, cancer (with cigarette lung cancer and inherited cigarette lung cancer in the lead), alcohol, heart issues.
Considering that people do all the stuff listed above, how can you bring up chlorine? It's a joke.
The "required" amoung of chemicals is debatable. Why do you think there is a lot of it in there? Just because it smells bad? That doesn't mean there is a lot of it, tho.
