I wonder what they do with the chlorine-laced debris from when they skim
the pool? Could they be surreptitiously dumping it onto your property,
theorizing that it's just "the booshes" and no one will object?

When I run out of rainwater I use the hose. There is more chlorine in the city
water than in our pool! We keep the pool at 3 ppm and our tap water is 5ppm
(parts per million). We splash all the time and nothing is damaged by the pool
water.
