I know our municipal water is treated with chloramine. Sounds a lot like just simple chlorine, and is only slightly different.

Also, a charcoal-based filter can remove almost all the chorine/chloramines.

I choose to go to a local spring to fill up water jugs rather than use the tap water. Never had it tested, but I know it tastes and smells better than our muni water!

We had a natural spring on the farm years ago... the only thing is... did you ever look at what grows in that pipe? Not good for those with a weak immune system or children! We adults drank it if we needed a drink, but the kids didn't.
