Most municipal water supplies fresh from the tap are pretty heavy on
chlorine... you may want to consider filling a large container and
letting it sit a few days for the chlorine to evaporate, then use that
water for your plants.

thanks to whichever poster offered this golden hint!

i am in so cal coastal. we are in the 2nd year of the worst drought
in memory.

normally, in the "rainy" season, the sky water flushes out the
chemicals from faucet water.

not this year!

so i am grateful for the heads-up

have filled a water pitcher for people drink, and several buckets on
the patio for plant drink, to allow chlorine to dissipate.. at least
i can be nice to the house plants and patio plants.
