The amount of chlorine in the system.

Deliverance

It is to much. Full stop, the stuff stinks like bleach, it is undrinkable at the moment. It had to be said.

WTF is going on with the water system, if I wanted to swallow some bleached water I would go for a swim in the local swimming pool and get cleaner water to drink.

this was already discussed before Christmas. I'm putting it down to the flooding. I reckon once pumping stations were back up and running they horsed a sh*tload of chlorine into the water to kill off any bacteria left over from the flooding...purely my own (perhaps ill-informed) opinion.

Reminds me of the smell of cannabis! It's sickening, horrible taste lately.

I worked in the water treatment industry for a year and haven't touched tap water for drinking since, weird though as it's absolutely fine and I know it.

tap water does indeed smell of chlorine a bit too much at times…someone told me a story about extra chlorine in the system because of a dead cow in some reservoir somewhere in the country a few years ago…anyone heard of that too? is it even true?
who knows what reasons they have to put in extra chlorine this time around…
