The chlorine did it's job killing bacteria from the pumping plant to your home.
After that any chlorine in the pipes is completely dissipated in 24 hours, that is the total life.

It is difficult to harbor bacteria after that because of lack of air in the pipes

Also understand the chlorination process has two carcinogens that remain in the water, they are stated right on your annual bill.

TTHM and Haloacetic acid, just google them

I'm not trying to alarm anyone just know they are there but at safe Federal guidelines.

More importantly our system removes them.

there are also microplastics in the water not only here but world wide, again they will be removed
