Sadly you can never remove chlorine from tap water entirely, even UV requires a reduced level as it's there to stop bacterial grow it pipework and storage tanks.

 

All water companies use as little as possible, but they store large amounts in underground tanks prior to use and the filtering sand separates out and can provide a breading ground for bacteria which they do remove regularly.

You do realise we move a lot of water that becomes potable through the canals?

No, but the river levels in Scotland are low. Similar scenario. However water is moved we're short of it.

Restrictions were put in place in some parts of Scotland only a few days ago.

I didn’t say who the restrictions are affecting, I said there are restrictions in Scotland, fact. And there are also talks about domestic restrictions to come.

 

I’ve a feeling you jump on my post about lack of water in the canals without knowing what you were talking about.
