The WA Water Corporation provides drinking water to everyone in WA. They recently increased the chlorine levels to 5mg/litre (ppm), which is more than double what it used to be so you will need to use more dechlorinater. Apparently they increased the chlorine levels because the World Health Organisation said it is safe for most people to have 5mg/l chlorine in drinking water, prior to this it was 2mg/l. I am one of the people who can't tolerate that level, so I wrote to the Water Corp to find out what was going on with the water. That's when they told me about the new higher levels of chlorine in drinking water in Western Australia. That was about 2 weeks ago when they emailed me.If you want to know the water that comes out of your tap, the local water company will have a website with that info on. Again Colin will probably know what site that is.
More than double is concerning. Perhaps bottled water for drinking maybe a better option. I mainly drink bottled water now. Using more dechlorinator will add to the costs too.. I also imagine utility costs are rising quickly over there as wellThe WA Water Corporation provides drinking water to everyone in WA.

Just because most people can tolerate 5mg/l of chlorine, doesn't mean we need that much in our drinking water. We used to have 2mg/l and it worked fine for around 80 years so there is no reason to increase it to 5mg/l.
I did not know that, but it's a bit off-topic. Let's stay on-topic. I will look into and test the gH on our water as soon as I can.The WA Water Corporation provides drinking water to everyone in WA.
