If that is true, how come the annual water analysis that my water company does always shows a residual chlorine content in the water ??? Hint: Because there is some chlorine IN the water.
And that amount is NO where's even close or near a level to 'sanitize' a holding tank as one post stated, which is what the response was directed to.
City water is monitored and monitored and treated. CG well water is NOT.
CG water might be checked for chloroforms periodically but nothing else.
Many small CG's are privately owned and many are not required to perform monthly or annual testing. I've asked many of the CG's owners what the policy is and most do not.
IMHO water lines and spigots in CG's and their close proximity to numerous sewer lines? Nope. I don't drink the water whether it was filled into my tank or direct hookup.
I don't think water has any chloroform in it, otherwise we'd all be put to sleep. I'd guess he meant coliform. In 14 years we've never sanitized, always drank from the tank, and never had an illness break out on our trips or shortly thereafter.
