Maybe Canada is an exception, but in most places the chlorine is left in the water because the distribution network isn't entirely sterile.

- Gibbon1 6y agoMissed the Canada part. Canada likely has very pure water from snow melt.
- chupasaurus 6y agoSo half a year they have to get it from north or preserve in sterile tanks? :) I live near Urals above 99% of Canadians and there is no snow for 6 months.
- Gibbon1 6y agoAn example, San Francisco historically got it's water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. It's all from alpine snow melt and springs. Used to not be chlorinated because it's organic content is very low. I assume a lot of Canada is the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Shaughnessy_Dam_(California) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Shaughnessy_Dam_(California)
- ajayyy 6y agoMost Ontario Canada's water is from the great lakes
- chupasaurus 6y agoThere is more precipitation during a warmer half of the year on their territory outside of ocean shores where it's in reverse, also the gap between those grows further to north.
