In north america, yes. i have municipal water, i’ve stayed in hotels all over europe, and i’ve never had the feeling of drowning in a pool when drinking tap water before going over there. the worst thing i’ve encountered in europe is filtered tap water, which tastes like charcoal but is drinkable. the chlorinated water just made my throat close instinctively.
Typically yes water is chlorinated. By the time it hits your cup, most of it’s gone and is save to drink. If you let the water sit out longer, all the chlorine should dissipate.
I think it might depend. Chlorine should, but chloramine doesn’t (which I only know because the latter can really mess up home aquariums). Since our water just has chlorine, I leave it out overnight before doing water changes.
our tap water IS chlorinated, but it’s very minimal, some people pretend that they can taste it, idk if i believe them on that one. But it’s safe to drink and doesn’t cause harm to most people, unless for example, you’re allergic to it.
It’s typically both. So little chlorine you won’t notice unless you have a particular condition like op or you’re doing something weird like growing algae. You can also just leave a glass of water out for a while and the chlorine will evaporate out of it.
Do you mean fluoridated? Was the drinking water really chlorinated?
Yes public/city water systems often do use chlorine in the sanitation process: https://www.safewater.org/fact-sheets-1/2017/1/23/what-is-chlorination
And you can really smell and taste it when you’re used to rural well water.
