I used to have aquariums with fish and we had to use non-chlorinated water or the fish would die. There is a chemical we could add or we could pour out a gal or more water into a container and leave it for 24 hours and it would be chlorine free. I do the same thing these days to prepare chlorine free water for my worm bin (wetting the paper, cardboard etc). For our drinking and cooking water we have a reverse osmosis filter system which not only takes out the chlorine and fluoride (yea!), but other chemicals that get into city drinking water. That is the water that I use for baking and feeding my starter.
