Actually they use it, the deal is that you just don't notice. Chlorinated water is used in Germany depending on the city and source. Cities using aquifers for drinking water, like Berlin, usually require less disinfectants as the original water carries little to no organisms. They might still use chlorine for emergency disinfections. But usually the levels are very low and hard to notice. http://www.evoqua.com/en/brands/Wallace_and_Tiernan/Pages/beelitzhof.aspx http://www.evoqua.com/en/brands/Wallace_and_Tiernan/Pages/be... Cities that don't have good aquifers usually resort to rivers and lakes, requiring heavier disinfection both at the treatment and on the way to the homes, so they need to add higher levels of chlorine.
