I asked....cant trust water off a roof ..she replied...easy to fix that I said,just chuck in a cap of janola.......... oh how I HAD TO CONTAIN MY CHUCKLES OF MIRTH...
personally I would rather have taste of chlorine than another dose of the poohs n spews
grew up in Tokoroa with the smell of chlorine etc from the mill...
drank Taumarunui water in my teens and actually LIKED IT......
folks dont appreciate that good water= stuff you can drink when you have been parched and drunk out of muddy puddle on side of tramping track,or stomped hole in a bog and waited for it to fill enough to get some semi less muddy liquid to drink...yeah a little bit of chlorine smell isnt so bad....
fussy fussy fussy.

I have never heard of anyone actually liking the taste of chlorine thats wild
Ill take my chances on a cattle trough or many a river that I inevitably find something dead in upstream
