Yes! Drinking chlorinated water is considered a safe and viable practice. But we realize many homesteaders don't like the taste. If it makes you feel better, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) limits how much chlorine your local water company may use. Even still, we realize chlorine isn't a natural method of removing parasites or bacteria, and many prefer a biological filter rather than a chemical treatment. However, we feel comforted to know some safeguards are in place.
