Answer Details
Pipe-borne water is usually chlorinated in order to kill harmful bacteria in the water. Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent that can destroy the cell walls and enzymes of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that might be present in the water. By killing these microorganisms, chlorination helps to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases and make the water safe for consumption.
