I agree storing it in the pipes is one reason why they put chlorine in
tap water even though most organisms do not thrive at over 20 PSI or
so. That is why you get a "boil water" notice when the pressure drops.


20 PSI doesn't do squat to "most organisms." You get boil water notices
because loss of pressure allows organisms to enter the potable water system.
Until that **** is cleared out the water is unsafe to drink.


Dunno, that is just what the water company tells us.
