My dog has not been drinking the tap water lately. She prefers puddles. I was wondering if there might be more chlorine in the water that would affect its taste.

I can tell you I can SMELL the chlorine in our water, most especially when I fill the bathtub for our boys' bathtime...we've stopped drinking the house water all together.

There shouldn't be any chlorine in our water now. Some years ago chlorine was replaced with chloramine, a change which led to the great lead crisis. Once a year, chlorine is used temporarily, but that's in the spring.
