Council is the best place.

Depending on where your water supply comes from (dam or bore) they usually dose the water with more chlorine if they have had a problem with algae etc. It's always fine to drink. They have to make sure of that.]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 10:20:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17206&PID=383062&title=chlorine-in-water#383062 <![CDATA[Chlorine in water : Its normally the councils that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17206&PID=383059&title=chlorine-in-water#383059 Author: cuppatea

Its normally the councils that look after the water systems so best to ring them and find out. If it smells that strong then that sounds a bit iffy to me.]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 10:15:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17206&PID=383059&title=chlorine-in-water#383059 <![CDATA[Chlorine in water : I think that can often happen...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17206&PID=383056&title=chlorine-in-water#383056 Author: Bel

I think that can often happen when there has been heavy rain or something and so they have treated it a bit stronger... But I would ring the water people and see what they say...

Our water at home suddenly has a really strong smell of chlorine. When I run O's bath the whole bathroom smells like we are at the pools!!

I dont know whether its normal or not, but it makes me kind of nervous that our tap water smells so strongly of it!

I am still boiling the water for O's bottles and we have a filter jug, so we arent drinking it directly...but still....doesnt seem right to me!!!

Do I contact Metrowater or the council or just live with it??
