My tap water smells like chlorine. Can anything be done to alleviate the odor?
Madison, like all public water systems, puts relatively low levels of chlorine into the drinking water to disinfect the water and guard against bacterial growth in the water system. Some individuals are particularly sensitive to this odor. Some find that keeping a pitcher of water in the refrigerator or adding a lemon slice for drinking helps disperse the chlorine odor before consumption.
