If city water has enough chlorine in it to destroy the active beneficial
microorganisms in good compost tea then what does that say about drinking
it and its effect on your body's beneficial intestinal microflora? I doubt
it would have much effect on active concentrated (AACT)
compost tea which at worst might have colony rebound once it is in good
biologically active, chemically clean soil. I was raised on chlorinated
city water and during childhood you could smell it coming out of the tap;
you get used to it, in swimming pools it was always enough to burn your
eyes, never paid it any mind.

I have created an @permaculture account at Ello (never again at farcebook,
linkdin or twittr) to interact with other Ello users, many from the
Continent, all very interesting and anyone else interested, hopefully some
from this list. Here are particulars:

Meet at @permaculture <https://ello.co/permaculture> to discuss, learn and
share anything permaculture.
Hope you'll visit and follow.
