Back in the 50's or so my grandfather was the town marshal of the one horse burg of Castle Dale. UT. One of his duties was maintaining the town water system.
After finding a dead deer in the town cistern, he picked up his water from a spring up a nearby canyon.
He made a point of keeping the chlorine cranked up to the max in the system, much to the chagrin of the residents, who constantly complained about the chlorine smell.
